  Testecleese: Hello, and welcome to episode 316 of the Jeffrey and Brian Show. I am Jeffrey.
• 0:40
  Brian McFadden: Brian.
• 0:41
  Audio shared by Testecleese: And we're just two guys drinking some beer, talking about what's going on. Happy New Year's, Brian!
• 0:47
  Brian McFadden: Happy New Year!
• 0:49
  Testecleese: I'm glad to see we didn't see a whole lot of terrorism.
• 0:53
  Testecleese: Because there was a whole bunch threatened.
• 0:57
  Testecleese: But, we'll get into what happened to the new… what's going on with that.
• 1:01
  Testecleese: Soon.
• 1:03
  Testecleese: But, you know, we gotta do our follow-up first.
• 1:08
  Testecleese: Nigga, you don't… got me into this Kennedy Center thing.
• 1:12
  Brian McFadden: Yeah. What's up.
• 1:13
  Testecleese: Apparently, they're looking to sue the dude for the same, basically the same thing we said.
• 1:18
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, yeah, I predicted it, you know, they're trying to sue him for a million dollars, because…
• 1:22
  Brian McFadden: The show was canceled at the last minute, so they gotta refund all the ticket sales, and the employees aren't getting paid, you know, so… yep.
• 1:30
  Testecleese: We… and exactly, New Year's catering and stuff is, it's a big event.
• 1:37
  Testecleese: So it's not like these guys, it was just a job?
• 1:40
  Testecleese: Which is enough to sue anyway, but it was a big deal job that it was too late to book another…
• 1:45
  Testecleese: you know what I mean? Things to do it at.
• 1:47
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:48
  Testecleese: So, exactly, all these people didn't get paid, and, you know.
• 1:53
  Testecleese: You did, you called it, you're like, that's messed up, you can't do that, you just boned everyone.
• 1:57
  Testecleese: Because you wanted to appear virtuous.
• 2:02
  Testecleese: She's still talking about the, LA fires. You see this, any of this shit lately?
• 2:11
  Brian McFadden: I know.
• 2:12
  Brian McFadden: Everybody's making a big deal about how ain't nothing getting done out there.
• 2:16
  Testecleese: Very true. Now it turns out one of these fire captains
• 2:21
  Testecleese: Refused to bring bulldozers in to clear an area of land to put… to make sure the fire was out, because it was, like, endangered species of tree.
• 2:30
  Testecleese: And I can understand that argument, if you are 100% certain it won't be an issue.
• 2:36
  Testecleese: The issue is, this fire reflexion burned down that whole patch of forest anyway, and then spread into the neighborhoods.
• 2:43
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, they… They should definitely lose their job for that.
• 2:48
  Testecleese: Yeah, and I get trying to protect… protected stuff, I do, but you put human lives over plants' lives, don't you?
• 2:58
  Testecleese: Yeah. At least I would, anyway, you know?
• 3:05
  Testecleese: Oh. Yeah, the, the dude that's been accused of the pipe bombings that's been arrested?
• 3:12
  Testecleese: He's been, held in remand. He's gonna stay in custody, it looks like. At least that's what the judge said.
• 3:19
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 3:22
  Testecleese: Brian, tell me what's going on with the guard, because this is something that we've been talking about.
• 3:27
  Testecleese: Trying to walk the line of what is legal and what's not, and we even said right away, like, he might get this all overturned when it started, right?
• 3:35
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, it looks like that's what's gonna happen. He says he's… he's gonna…
• 3:39
  Brian McFadden: To temporarily pull the National Guard out of Chicago, LA, and Portland.
• 3:43
  Brian McFadden: Until crime ramps back up again, you know? So…
• 3:47
  Testecleese: Well…
• 3:50
  Testecleese: I can't remember the name of it off the top of my head, the Latin phrase that… about using the military… deploying the military to enforce the law in the United States, but they weren't necessarily there enforcing the law.
• 4:02
  Brian McFadden: No, they were ashore of force, you know, they were…
• 4:05
  Testecleese: Yeah, they were protecting federal buildings or federal agents, and I think Trump might have an argument in a court when it comes down to it, depending on… as soon as it's on, Bozburg, right?
• 4:17
  Brian McFadden: And he's… he's our favorite anti-Trump…
• 4:22
  Brian McFadden: Judge. He… magically, he tends to get all these cases. I don't know how he pulls it off, but…
• 4:27
  Testecleese: Every single one, exactly, and isn't this supposed to be, like, a random lottery system?
• 4:32
  Brian McFadden: Supposed to be, yeah.
• 4:34
  Testecleese: Yeah, and you manage to get stuff nationwide, too, which is even crazier.
• 4:39
  Testecleese: Now, here, check this out. A new study has come out, and it's a collaboration between a bunch of schools. I know Harvard…
• 4:48
  Testecleese: Let me find them. Harvard University, the Yale University, the Yale New Haven Health.
• 4:54
  Testecleese: found the BMM… BMI, body mass index, alone, is not significant for,
• 5:00
  Testecleese: Discovering, or defining obesity, and they've changed… they've come up with a new equation, which includes waistline, which kind of bothers me.
• 5:10
  Testecleese: Because the whole point of the BMI was, if you're a super in shape, you might weigh more than your average height.
• 5:16
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 5:17
  Testecleese: But then I was thinking about it.
• 5:20
  Testecleese: I'm not certain I know what the word obese means. Like, I have a general understanding, but I don't think I've ever looked it up.
• 5:27
  Testecleese: For all I know, that extra body mass of being that massive hulkster?
• 5:31
  Testecleese: is the same issues on your body, because, I mean, how often do you hear about these massive dudes…
• 5:37
  Testecleese: You know what I mean? Their heart's just stopping.
• 5:40
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 5:41
  Testecleese: So I'm wondering if… That has something to do with it.
• 5:45
  Testecleese: But according to this new, formula, it puts 75% of U.S. adults in the obese category.
• 5:55
  Brian McFadden: That's greedy.
• 5:57
  Testecleese: Yeah.
• 5:59
  Testecleese: That said… Florida Man.
• 6:03
  Brian McFadden: Florida.
• 6:04
  Testecleese: Yes, is suing an Outback Steakhouse because he broke the porcelain toilet!
• 6:11
  Testecleese: Oh, good. And was injured, and sounds like it didn't come out and say it, but reading this article, it came across as though this guy's junk doesn't work anymore.
• 6:20
  Brian McFadden: Oh, okay.
• 6:22
  Testecleese: But I was like, how huge are you?
• 6:25
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 6:26
  Testecleese: To break a… Toilet sitting around.
• 6:30
  Testecleese: I mean, look, you see those TV shows with, like, 600-pound people sitting on the toilet, and the thing's fine.
• 6:35
  Brian McFadden: Jail.
• 6:38
  Testecleese: It's like, holy crap! Now, I mean, and they're saying, oh, they need to install these, more sturdy. I'm like, it wasn't sturdy, it was a sheer weight issue coming down on it. Doesn't matter how well it's bolted to the floor.
• 6:51
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 6:56
  Testecleese: Gosh, I have to do you with a laugh, because.
• 7:00
  Brian McFadden: Everyone has high hopes at the new year, and then halfway through they go, this one sucks too!
• 7:07
  Brian McFadden: Yo.
• 7:09
  Testecleese: Oh, Good Morning America!
• 7:11
  Testecleese: I was doing a thing, and they were completely shocked when they found gas prices are actually dropping nationwide.
• 7:17
  Brian McFadden: Oh, yeah.
• 7:20
  Testecleese: And I got… I got a good laugh out of this, cause…
• 7:23
  Testecleese: I had a handful of my friends saying, I keep hearing how gas is down so cheap, and I was like, and then they showed me a picture.
• 7:30
  Testecleese: They're, you know…
• 7:31
  Brian McFadden: Massachusetts people?
• 7:33
  Testecleese: Yeah, like Massachusetts folks, look at how expensive gas is, like, you! This is your policy! You voted in, you said, I want this taxed for this much.
• 7:42
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 7:43
  Testecleese: And it's like, this isn't happening nationwide, and if it's not happening nationwide, it must be your local government.
• 7:50
  Testecleese: I might have just kicked, Guapo out, I think I tried to let him in, I might have just booted him by accident.
• 7:56
  Testecleese: Usually by now, he's already loading.
• 7:58
  Brian McFadden: He came back if you did, so…
• 8:01
  Testecleese: Oh.
• 8:01
  Brian McFadden: But yeah, the thing was still up there.
• 8:04
  Testecleese: Alright.
• 8:06
  Testecleese: And who… do you know who Daniel Laurie is?
• 8:10
  Brian McFadden: No.
• 8:12
  Testecleese: Neither do I. I guess he's the new mayor of San Francisco?
• 8:18
  Brian McFadden: Oh, yeah, I shared this article. Yeah, he's got big plans for San Francisco. Send him into the poorhouse.
• 8:26
  Testecleese: No! See, I read this thing thoroughly, because I was curious.
• 8:31
  Testecleese: This isn't gonna be taxpayer funded.
• 8:35
  Brian McFadden: Where's the money coming from?
• 8:37
  Testecleese: Okay, well, first of all, to anyone who's listening.
• 8:40
  Testecleese: It's about up to $5 million a person, reparations, yes.
• 8:45
  Testecleese: And he said, none of this is gonna come out of tax dollars, because you'd have to get congressional approval.
• 8:51
  Testecleese: So anyone who wants to donate money to this fund to pay reparations may.
• 8:57
  Brian McFadden: No, but… Okay, yeah, that seems like a very good plan.
• 9:02
  Testecleese: I bet you the only… I bet you…
• 9:05
  Testecleese: If this goes through all the way, we're gonna see people who are getting, like, receipts or certificates saying they paid into it, and they're gonna put it behind them in their frickin' YouTube videos, and they're gonna make sure…
• 9:14
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, virtual singling?
• 9:17
  Testecleese: Yep, it's… yep. I can't just do something good, I need credit for doing the good thing, right?
• 9:22
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 9:24
  Testecleese: Wapo showed up.
• 9:26
  Brian McFadden: Yep, late as usual.
• 9:27
  El Guapo: Always, dude. Always.
• 9:30
  Testecleese: Yeah, well, at least… at least, his girlfriend isn't as late as he usually is.
• 9:34
  El Guapo: Mmm… Yeah.
• 9:38
  Testecleese: I didn't even get a laugh out of that one, man, I'm sorry.
• 9:40
  El Guapo: No, she's taking a nap. I'll make sure of that.
• 9:43
  Testecleese: Are you familiar with what the term late means in that reference?
• 9:47
  El Guapo: Yeah, I know.
• 9:49
  Testecleese: Like, probably pregnant.
• 9:51
  El Guapo: No…
• 9:52
  Testecleese: No, that's what… they're late on their period, which means they might be knocked up.
• 9:57
  El Guapo: I got 3 more days before that, so…
• 9:59
  Testecleese: I… I love it, too, when you always hear people, like, when don't I understand how any of this works? It's like, are you kidding me? It's like, I know… I know my wife's cycle, and I, you know what I mean? I know how…
• 10:09
  Testecleese: I went to school, I know how it works.
• 10:11
  El Guapo: I went to take advantage of it, you know, 90 day… 90 hours before, you know.
• 10:16
  El Guapo: Shoot up the club.
• 10:18
  Testecleese: Yeah, you gotta be careful, though, man. Some of them live longer than others, and that's the last thing you need is,
• 10:24
  Testecleese: Yeah. Friggin' thinking you're shooting in the backyard in the trees, and you go ahead and hit your neighbor's fucking dog, you know?
• 10:29
  El Guapo: I know, timber! Now you end up with a fucking hole, fuck your house by yourself.
• 10:35
  Testecleese: Oh, speaking of, we were going through the box for that,
• 10:40
  Testecleese: pistol I bought my wife for Christmas.
• 10:43
  Testecleese: And I was like, oh, this looks like a warranty card or something weird, that's unusual.
• 10:47
  Testecleese: Hand it to her, and she reads it, and it's about…
• 10:49
  Testecleese: how they have these old-style revolvers, kind of like the one I just got her for her birthday last year.
• 10:55
  Testecleese: Single-action revolvers, and some of them are misfiring… not misfiring, but going off unexpectedly.
• 11:01
  Testecleese: And first of all, you have to sit there with the thing cocked for it to be able to file, you have to manually cock it, so it's not just gonna go off.
• 11:07
  El Guapo: Yeah. But they'll send you a…
• 11:10
  Testecleese: All the equipment you need, all the tools, and they'll pay for the local gunsmith to fix it for you?
• 11:15
  Testecleese: And I was like, these guys do not want to be a Sig Sauer.
• 11:20
  Brian McFadden: So I got, I turned on YouTube today to…
• 11:24
  Brian McFadden: See what's going on. I sent, the repeat offender that's linked, and he's chiming in on there. He says, tell the mayor of San Francisco to scold a can of Bud Light, and I'll chip in $5 Australian.
• 11:39
  Testecleese: There you go, that's like $3.85 American. That cost almost as much as.
• 11:43
  Brian McFadden: That's funny.
• 11:44
  El Guapo: Yeah, we should get as much as the Bud Light did.
• 11:47
  Brian McFadden: I could, like, donate, like, 5 bucks to get a placard, you know? Which is, like, $50 for the placard.
• 11:58
  Testecleese: Well, you know that's what's gonna happen with the reparations money. None of it'll go there. It's exactly what it's gonna be. You're gonna get this beautiful frickin' plaque to put on the wall.
• 12:05
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, so you can say you did.
• 12:07
  El Guapo: Yeah, at least we got a placard, like, hey, we donated, what are you talking about?
• 12:11
  Testecleese: When my dog…
• 12:12
  El Guapo: amount.
• 12:13
  Testecleese: Just like when my daughters were born, I went and bought them one square foot of Scotland, like, Scottish land.
• 12:19
  El Guapo: Oh, yeah.
• 12:20
  Testecleese: So they're both, they're both officially ladies.
• 12:22
  El Guapo: Mmm.
• 12:23
  Testecleese: Like, I thought that was pretty cool, you know?
• 12:25
  El Guapo: Yeah.
• 12:27
  Testecleese: But that's…
• 12:28
  Testecleese: It was just because it's neat. I have a piece of paper that I have on a frame that says, you know, Aurora owns, you know, one foot by one foot. She's officially a lady of Scotland.
• 12:39
  El Guapo: Yeah, send me a picture so I could kick us that thing.
• 12:42
  El Guapo: They don't know any better.
• 12:45
  Testecleese: And I bet you somehow tax dollars find their way into this pot through NGOs.
• 12:51
  El Guapo: Yeah.
• 12:53
  Testecleese: That's what always happens, right? These NGOs collect all this money, and they kick it back to the causes.
• 12:58
  El Guapo: It's… I think the government should be infrastructure and military, and so little thing here and there, and that's it, nothing else.
• 13:05
  Brian McFadden: Right. You know?
• 13:07
  Testecleese: I agree, and…
• 13:11
  Testecleese: I don't think we should be doing income tax still.
• 13:15
  Brian McFadden: Oh, yeah. Trump's trying to get rid of it.
• 13:17
  El Guapo: I know…
• 13:17
  Testecleese: is, but what… can you… what…
• 13:20
  Testecleese: I know somewhere it says something about taxation in the frickin' Constitution, obviously.
• 13:25
  Testecleese: But does it specify how the government's allowed to tax?
• 13:30
  El Guapo: What do you mean.
• 13:30
  Testecleese: Or is it just that it needs an act of Congress to set it up?
• 13:33
  El Guapo: Yeah, need, whatever Congress want to set up.
• 13:36
  Testecleese: Well, here's the best part. If they blow Trump up for this tariff thing, they're gonna blow up FDR for the income tax.
• 13:45
  Testecleese: And I hope that argument is made, if it comes to that.
• 13:48
  El Guapo: Yeah.
• 13:49
  Testecleese: Which might be part of the reason why Congress hasn't moved yet, because they're like,
• 13:53
  Testecleese: Which we will definitely get to, by the way, because Brian sheds about Congress wanting to get back some of their authority they've given up.
• 13:59
  El Guapo: Mmm, I thought I could…
• 14:00
  Testecleese: Yeah, we've been talking about that for a while, how everything.
• 14:02
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, definitely.
• 14:04
  Testecleese: now.
• 14:07
  Testecleese: Alright.
• 14:08
  Testecleese: What's going on in, Virginia?
• 14:11
  El Guapo: Oh.
• 14:12
  Brian McFadden: Not much.
• 14:14
  El Guapo: Hold on, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, something happened yesterday, I'm sorry.
• 14:18
  Brian McFadden: So we had a… we had a pedestrian hit by a car near my house again.
• 14:23
  El Guapo: Again…
• 14:24
  Brian McFadden: Yep. It's a major road. And they're building a fence on the road now to keep the force of pedestrians to actually use the designated crosswalks now.
• 14:35
  El Guapo: Oh, my God.
• 14:36
  Testecleese: Oh, that would help a lot.
• 14:38
  Testecleese: And unfortunately, that's the thing, Brian, is people are stupid, so they're using your tax dollars to corral them to a safe crossing like they're fucking deer, because they're too stupid. They're too stupid to go to the safe place to cross.
• 14:51
  Brian McFadden: Well, another problem is, people like to wear dark clothing at night.
• 14:55
  El Guapo: I wonder why.
• 14:58
  El Guapo: Oh, wow.
• 14:58
  Testecleese: Stealin'!
• 14:59
  El Guapo: Yeah.
• 15:00
  El Guapo: No, so nobody can find it when they're running away from the cops and shit.
• 15:04
  Testecleese: Who was that?
• 15:04
  El Guapo: This guy probably was drunk, he just, you know… Is that…
• 15:09
  Testecleese: Now, I will say, though, in the Navy, I learned a new thing about stealing altogether.
• 15:14
  El Guapo: You know, it's still…
• 15:15
  Testecleese: You don't steal it, you don't steal it, you strategically take equipment to an alternate location.
• 15:20
  El Guapo: Yeah.
• 15:20
  Brian McFadden: Hmm. Okay.
• 15:21
  Testecleese: Because I need this bottle of helium. I don't care what the weather guessers need up there.
• 15:30
  El Guapo: But, yeah, I mean, I think they should let natural selection happen, you know?
• 15:38
  Testecleese: I… to an extent, yeah. Like, people are gonna get hit by cars that don't necessarily deserve it, but at a certain point.
• 15:44
  Testecleese: You're like, if you're dumb enough to walk in front of our frickin' car, go, what is this, Mercury Boulevard?
• 15:48
  El Guapo: Yeah, Mercury will work.
• 15:50
  Testecleese: Yeah, if you're dumb enough to walk in front of a car going up to, like, 50 miles an hour legally.
• 15:55
  El Guapo: Maybe you deserve what you get.
• 15:58
  Testecleese: Yeah.
• 15:59
  El Guapo: Okay.
• 16:00
  Testecleese: The traffic lights are on, like, 200 yards apart.
• 16:04
  El Guapo: There's, the other thing I had actually happened, military highway down over there by Chesapeake in the fucking woods. A 9-year-old got hit.
• 16:12
  El Guapo: In the middle of nighttime. What?
• 16:14
  El Guapo: Hell no.
• 16:15
  Brian McFadden: Why was a 9-year-old out the dark?
• 16:19
  El Guapo: Like, okay, well, the question… The question is, what the fuck is the pears are, you know?
• 16:26
  Testecleese: Oh, 9, your other said 9T, like, 9-0.
• 16:29
  Brian McFadden: 09.
• 16:30
  El Guapo: No, no, 9 years, 9 years.
• 16:33
  El Guapo: Yeah.
• 16:34
  Testecleese: Well, I mean, what's considered.
• 16:36
  El Guapo: Where the hell do parents?
• 16:37
  Testecleese: Actually, what, when it's dark?
• 16:39
  El Guapo: PM.
• 16:40
  El Guapo: 9pm? 9pm.
• 16:42
  Testecleese: I just… I had to be home, There's.
• 16:46
  El Guapo: The streetlight's.
• 16:46
  Testecleese: I mean, I would come home after dark all the time, because, especially, you know, up in New England, the further north you go, the shorter the day…
• 16:53
  El Guapo: You know what?
• 16:54
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, I'm dealing with that in Michigan right now.
• 16:56
  El Guapo: U.
• 16:56
  Testecleese: Yeah! It's always dark!
• 17:00
  Brian McFadden: My wife is like, she's like, I can't believe it's 8 o'clock in the morning and the sun hasn't come up yet, you know?
• 17:05
  Testecleese: Yeah, and then the sun sets at 4.30.
• 17:07
  Brian McFadden: Something like that, yeah, it's crazy.
• 17:09
  El Guapo: If you live in Virginia, you know.
• 17:12
  Testecleese: Where I'm in West Virginia right now, the sun's setting at, like, 20 after 5.
• 17:16
  Testecleese: And then people would get rid of Daylight Savings, like, are you kidding me? The sun would be setting at 4 o'clock!
• 17:22
  Brian McFadden: Oh, that's just…
• 17:22
  El Guapo: people don't understand how that shit works, but I guess people are gonna learn the hard way, you know?
• 17:28
  Testecleese: Yeah, you heard it.
• 17:28
  Brian McFadden: Kinda like Judy Bloom?
• 17:30
  El Guapo: Hmm?
• 17:31
  Brian McFadden: Kinda like Judy Boone?
• 17:32
  El Guapo: Oh, yeah.
• 17:33
  Brian McFadden: Favorite realtor?
• 17:34
  El Guapo: Oh my god.
• 17:35
  Testecleese: God, I thought you said Judy Bloom.
• 17:37
  El Guapo: Judy, boom.
• 17:39
  Testecleese: Sorry, that was like a book series or something when I was.
• 17:41
  Brian McFadden: Apparently, she was treated for a gunshot wound.
• 17:45
  El Guapo: Sure.
• 17:45
  Testecleese: Realtor!
• 17:46
  El Guapo: Yeah!
• 17:47
  Testecleese: Well, that's what got me, Guapo, was there's only a handful of reasons why she wouldn't share any information about being treated for a gunshot wound, and she's a realtor everyone knows, I guess, in the Norfolk area.
• 17:58
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, she's huge. They own Greenies.
• 18:02
  El Guapo: Used to.
• 18:02
  Testecleese: Oh, yeah?
• 18:03
  El Guapo: There's the camo.
• 18:04
  Testecleese: Well, they sold it back to the city for buku money, and then the city turned it into a parking lot!
• 18:12
  El Guapo: Keep that revenue flowing!
• 18:14
  Testecleese: Gay tax dollars!
• 18:16
  El Guapo: Dumbasses, dude.
• 18:18
  El Guapo: That's a prime realtor, too, New.
• 18:21
  Testecleese: Yeah, either, she's afraid for her life if she reveals what happened. There's one reason why you wouldn't share this.
• 18:26
  El Guapo: A family member got crazy, did she not go in the wheel or something.
• 18:29
  Testecleese: Well, it's also possible that she knew the attacker, and it was some kind of personal shit.
• 18:35
  El Guapo: Yeah, or disclose the fucking.
• 18:38
  Testecleese: Or is it possible that she was doing something shady when she got shot, and she's keeping her mouth shut, too?
• 18:43
  El Guapo: That's true.
• 18:46
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, why else would you have no comment as to being treated for a… not even acknowledging you were being treated for a gunshot. Alright, the main reason I turned to YouTube on tonight is we've got…
• 19:00
  Brian McFadden: Michael Duckett back in the house!
• 19:03
  Testecleese: It's been long enough.
• 19:04
  Brian McFadden: Okay, you bastards, I'm here. And people are stupid, they think they weigh as much as a car. You Easterners are soft. Hey! What can I say?
• 19:19
  Testecleese: I've dealt with plenty of cold, trust me, and plenty of snow. I was just pointing out that up north, it's not the same as, you know.
• 19:29
  Testecleese: Shit, even the Rust Belt, let alone down in Florida.
• 19:32
  Testecleese: You know?
• 19:34
  Testecleese: Especially when I hear these Massachusetts people, like, we need to, you know, get rid of daylight savings time, it's stupid. I'm like, Jesus Christ.
• 19:39
  Testecleese: I was like, you know the sun sets at, like, 3 o'clock in Maine, right?
• 19:44
  Brian McFadden: Exactly.
• 19:47
  Testecleese: Today.
• 19:50
  Testecleese: is the 20th anniversary of the Sago mine disaster.
• 19:54
  Testecleese: And our governor, acknowledged it.
• 19:57
  Testecleese: 20 years ago today, there was, basically a cave-in.
• 20:02
  Testecleese: Because of an… I'm sure everyone knows explosives are used in mining, right?
• 20:09
  Testecleese: Explosion went off when it wasn't expected. One man was killed instantly. It created a cave-in that, 12 other… 13 other guys were trapped.
• 20:18
  Testecleese: One of those dudes survived.
• 20:21
  El Guapo: Oh, wow.
• 20:22
  Testecleese: Yeah.
• 20:24
  Testecleese: And, you know, you can say you want to get rid of coal as much as you want to, that's fine, but these men are doing a legitimate, honest job, making a living.
• 20:32
  Testecleese: That's keeping the lights on, whether or not you like that's the way lights are being kept on.
• 20:37
  Testecleese: So, just…
• 20:39
  Testecleese: Thank people that do all this and give… and shoot the dangers that these guys are going through to make sure that there's electricity in the United States.
• 20:46
  El Guapo: Yeah.
• 20:48
  Testecleese: And actually, the West Virginia Coal Association just had a meeting with the governor about the new energy plan for West Virginia.
• 20:56
  Testecleese: And they were.
• 20:56
  Brian McFadden: Going nuclear?
• 20:58
  Testecleese: Well, they were really cool, nuclear energy and green energy moving in.
• 21:02
  El Guapo: They said.
• 21:03
  Testecleese: But they said, but you need to keep coal as a spine, because should something go wrong, coal still burns. It still works, but we have to keep the industry going. Even if we keep it in barrels like fucking oil.
• 21:16
  Brian McFadden: Forever.
• 21:17
  Brian McFadden: I mean, nuclear's great, but it takes forever to build a nuclear power plant because of all the regulatory things you gotta go through to get it up and running.
• 21:25
  Testecleese: Brian, and this is something I actually have way down at the bottom in the military action part. I wasn't sure where to put it.
• 21:32
  Testecleese: They're talking about retrofitting nuclear… Naval ships, reactors.
• 21:38
  Testecleese: to power, like, IT hubs and data centers.
• 21:42
  El Guapo: Hmm.
• 21:43
  Brian McFadden: I thought the capability was already there, because you were telling me that the Carl Vinson…
• 21:48
  Brian McFadden: Pulled in someplace, and they parted a whole island up.
• 21:51
  Testecleese: They did. But they're saying, like, they've decommissioned this submarine, we're gonna pull the reactor.
• 21:55
  Brian McFadden: Oh, I can understand, okay, okay, alright, yeah.
• 21:58
  Testecleese: Yeah!
• 22:00
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, because they're getting ready to start… they're getting ready to start deconditioning the, Nimbus-class carriers.
• 22:07
  Testecleese: Well, yeah, they just built a handful of them, right?
• 22:10
  El Guapo: This whole new class of them.
• 22:13
  El Guapo: Oh my god, the Commission on Enterprise was a nuclear power, the first one.
• 22:17
  Brian McFadden: Well, yeah.
• 22:17
  Testecleese: Oh, yeah.
• 22:18
  Brian McFadden: That's still sitting at the shipyard.
• 22:21
  Brian McFadden: Newman's is on his way back to, the East Coast to be decommissioned.
• 22:29
  Brian McFadden: The first one.
• 22:30
  Testecleese: Carl Vinson still has, like… Carl Vincent Solez, like.
• 22:34
  Testecleese: 18 years left in its, reactor life.
• 22:39
  Testecleese: Because they refueled when I was on the Carl Vinson.
• 22:42
  El Guapo: Right.
• 22:43
  Testecleese: Oh, Jesus Christ, no, that was…
• 22:45
  Testecleese: So it might have closer to…
• 22:47
  Testecleese: 15 years left, because it's, what, 25 years they do? Before they refuel?
• 22:53
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 22:53
  El Guapo: Hey, you guys talk about, the military, you gotta talk about the Trump, battleships?
• 22:59
  Brian McFadden: No, that was last week, you left early.
• 23:02
  Testecleese: Golden Fleet?
• 23:02
  El Guapo: Yeah, they're gonna flee. Alright, nevermind.
• 23:05
  Brian McFadden: But I've seen… we can hop on it real quick, since you brought it up. The,
• 23:11
  Brian McFadden: There's new details coming out saying that there won't be a ship into the fleet until at least 2030. It's gonna take 6 years to design, and, part of the design's gonna be done with, Huntington Ingalls in Pasagoula, Mississippi.
• 23:28
  El Guapo: Oh, okay.
• 23:29
  Brian McFadden: And there are many people saying that it's a ship that's needed in the U.S. Navy fleet again.
• 23:35
  El Guapo: Yeah.
• 23:36
  Testecleese: Maybe, but, I mean.
• 23:37
  El Guapo: Somebody could take a punch.
• 23:38
  Testecleese: They don't look like the destroyers of old, battleships of old, for sure. But what are we gonna use a battleship for?
• 23:45
  El Guapo: Is it like a punching… You know, because…
• 23:48
  Testecleese: Realistically, what they're good for is softening the shore up for an amphibious attack.
• 23:52
  El Guapo: Yeah, but I'm saying, like, all these fucking fleets are made out of aluminum, so you get ahead, it just…
• 23:58
  Testecleese: Superstructure.
• 24:00
  El Guapo: Yeah, cruise is a steal, huh? Okay, but I'm saying that the way the Navy think about it right now is like, oh, it's like a bunch of flies. You're gonna be trying to kill one fly, but you got a bunch of, you know, that's why they want to build a bunch of ships.
• 24:12
  El Guapo: But the fucking battleship is the one that just a boxer could take a punch and still fucking fight him back.
• 24:17
  El Guapo: But also, they're gonna be commissioned with the light,
• 24:20
  El Guapo: What's the… the, gun, the magnetic one?
• 24:27
  Testecleese: Railgun.
• 24:27
  El Guapo: Railgun. So they could go up into the distance.
• 24:31
  Testecleese: Yeah, yeah, that's a terrifying weapon, and actually, we talked about that specifically.
• 24:37
  Testecleese: The United States, allegedly abandoned the railgun project, like, 20 years ago.
• 24:42
  El Guapo: Yeah, but Japan just, just…
• 24:45
  Testecleese: Yeah, test fire theirs.
• 24:46
  El Guapo: Yeah.
• 24:47
  El Guapo: Reminds you a battleship with a nuclear capacity, missiles, and the railguns.
• 24:52
  Testecleese: Well, see, that was the issue, dude. When we tried the railgun the first time, we kept cracking the keels of ships, because of the recoil, like, the.
• 25:00
  El Guapo: Yeah.
• 25:00
  Testecleese: the power. So, I mean, if you went ahead and attached a nuclear reactor to make the electromagnetism stronger, dear God, who knows what you're gonna get out of that.
• 25:09
  El Guapo: Yeah, I mean, you're not gonna need a multi-million dollar missile just to fucking…
• 25:14
  Testecleese: 5-inch gun, you know, like… Yeah, a hunk of tungsten carbide, the size of a beer can, moving at .001% the speed of light.
• 25:23
  El Guapo: He's gonna put.
• 25:24
  Testecleese: hole in something the size of Manhattan.
• 25:26
  El Guapo: I'm gonna fucking go through the stratosphere, come down, you know? It's the biggest fucking arc.
• 25:31
  Testecleese: No, you don't even need to, you want to fire a straight line with one of them suckers, so it's still freaking at full speed.
• 25:35
  El Guapo: Well, you go a straight line, you're gonna go across the fucking, hemisphere, so you have to…
• 25:39
  Testecleese: Oh, that's assuming it's over the horizon.
• 25:41
  El Guapo: Yeah, that's what I'm saying, like, you don't have to be near close by.
• 25:45
  Testecleese: Dude!
• 25:47
  Testecleese: You had your surface warfare, didn't you?
• 25:49
  El Guapo: No.
• 25:50
  Brian McFadden: Okay, okay.
• 25:51
  Testecleese: You were air dead.
• 25:53
  Brian McFadden: I had air and surface.
• 25:55
  Testecleese: you know as well as I, Brian, that we don't need…
• 25:58
  Testecleese: The Horizon's not an issue with the 5-inch guns.
• 26:01
  El Guapo: No, because…
• 26:01
  Testecleese: I lose ya.
• 26:02
  El Guapo: Because it's only 23 miles, it's gonna calm down eventually.
• 26:05
  El Guapo: A spot.
• 26:06
  Testecleese: the, the Aegis radar system.
• 26:10
  Testecleese: still not sure how much I'm allowed to talk about it, but the Aegis radar system can see almost forever.
• 26:15
  El Guapo: I did not talk about the red, I'm about to talk about the gun, the bullet and cell trajectory.
• 26:20
  Testecleese: So you're talking about trying to do the math to fire around from Boston Harbor and have it land in San Francisco Bay in a freaking…
• 26:28
  Testecleese: On a golfing green.
• 26:31
  El Guapo: Yeah, why not?
• 26:31
  Testecleese: Can you imagine the variables in that math?
• 26:34
  El Guapo: math, math on this shit. Dude, you're not… you're gonna be having Einstein's fucking theory of relativity just to calculate the reactivity of this fucking…
• 26:43
  Testecleese: So that variables, you have to think about trade winds, you have to think about temperature variances, pressures, storms, anywhere.
• 26:49
  El Guapo: It's gonna be insane, dude.
• 26:54
  Brian McFadden: Well, back to Loco, we got this Clarksburg family that calls for stricter code enforcement after losing their house in a fire.
• 27:01
  Testecleese: Hold on.
• 27:02
  El Guapo: Yeah. You know, just because you dumbass, I mean, I don't know.
• 27:05
  El Guapo: What happened?
• 27:05
  Testecleese: No, I… I looked into this one.
• 27:09
  El Guapo: Okay.
• 27:09
  Testecleese: This family has an abandoned house behind their house. There's a lot of abandoned properties in West Virginia.
• 27:15
  El Guapo: Oh.
• 27:16
  Testecleese: die… And they have no one to give it to, and it just sits there.
• 27:20
  Testecleese: You know, it… and there's crazy squatter laws here.
• 27:24
  El Guapo: Mmm.
• 27:26
  Testecleese: You have to have lived somewhere for, like… you have to be able to show you've lived somewhere for 20 years before they're allowed to just kick you out, and you actually have squatter's rights.
• 27:34
  El Guapo: Okay.
• 27:34
  Testecleese: So you can't just move into an abandoned property, necessarily.
• 27:37
  El Guapo: Yeah, I kinda like that.
• 27:39
  Testecleese: I do too, so I can come home and kick someone the fuck out of my house, you know what I mean?
• 27:43
  El Guapo: Yeah, yeah, because they got some squatters, like, 6 months later, like, you cannot kick them out for, like, take an alcohol act of Congress can kick them out, you know?
• 27:53
  Testecleese: Oh, it's a civil thing, you have to go to a court.
• 27:55
  El Guapo: I know, but I'll say it's like, it's impossible.
• 27:58
  Testecleese: Oh, yeah, it takes forever, and it's expensive.
• 27:59
  El Guapo: Yeah.
• 28:00
  Testecleese: But anyway, they complained to the city several times because this building was just not safe, and it was right next to their house, and they were pointing at the electrical lines, and specifically saying, look at this, this whole building's about to come down, what's gonna happen to those power lines?
• 28:14
  Testecleese: And they brought it to the city several times, and then exactly what they said was gonna happen, happened on… I think it was Thanksgiving dinner, or maybe Christmas dinner, New Year's Eve dinner, I don't know, one of these things. They all got together.
• 28:25
  Testecleese: Kid went back to his own house, got a phone call to come back to his parents' house, because they were all sitting in the car watching their house burn down.
• 28:32
  El Guapo: Wow.
• 28:34
  Testecleese: They contacted the city, asked them for all of the documents that they had, you know.
• 28:39
  Testecleese: Put in, you know, they had concerning their complaints.
• 28:43
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, no documents for that. The only thing they had was a photograph that it looked like the guy didn't even get out of his car to take a picture of.
• 28:50
  El Guapo: Hmm.
• 28:51
  Testecleese: So… and they're not even… they're not even talking about suing the city, because the city burned this guy's house down.
• 28:57
  Testecleese: They're just talking about making, like, bringing stuff up to code.
• 29:00
  Brian McFadden: It was actually what they said, was we need to bring things up to code, even if it's abandoned.
• 29:04
  Testecleese: And that's messed up.
• 29:06
  Testecleese: Could you imagine watching a house burn down because the city didn't give a shit about an abandoned property near you?
• 29:11
  El Guapo: Yeah, well…
• 29:13
  El Guapo: That's… I think, I think city, employees, it should be only hired by, like, 5-year terms. After that, you move out, because they get too comfy with the job.
• 29:23
  Testecleese: Maybe, but if you've got someone who's good at the job, you want them to keep doing it, too. Yeah. So maybe 5 years, and then you can sign on for another 5, like a military contract.
• 29:30
  El Guapo: No, I mean, like…
• 29:32
  El Guapo: I mean, you can… it's like politicians, as soon as they get comfortable, they just know the way around, and how to…
• 29:38
  Testecleese: Yeah, but the city would still be able to fire him, it's not like they're just getting elected because of their name.
• 29:42
  El Guapo: No, but look at… look what happened here. This guy, like, alright, we get to it, we get to it, and then just… he's been there forever, like, after 5 years, you're not gonna get comfortable with the job.
• 29:51
  El Guapo: You had to, like…
• 29:53
  Testecleese: Yeah, unfortunately, something horrible has to happen for everyone else to pull their heads out of their asses when it's that, you know what I mean?
• 30:00
  Testecleese: And check this out, this is a town called Marmot, and I wanna say, yeah, it's in Conow County, out here in West Virginia.
• 30:09
  Testecleese: At, like, 5 o'clock in the morning, this dude driving down the road bags his truck up.
• 30:14
  Testecleese: Hooks it up to a trailer on the side of the road and drives off with a fucking excavator owned by the town.
• 30:21
  Brian McFadden: Oh, boy.
• 30:22
  Testecleese: the… and there's pictures of the truck, and then there's pictures of the truck with the truck attached. It's like, the balls to steal an excavator!
• 30:32
  El Guapo: God damn.
• 30:35
  Testecleese: It's… crazy things, I've been looking at some of these, the smaller ones.
• 30:39
  El Guapo: Oh, they're badass, dude. They're badass.
• 30:41
  Testecleese: Yeah, yeah, that you.
• 30:42
  El Guapo: You got a tractor and excavator.
• 30:45
  Testecleese: Well, I got tons of work to do in the yard, and I'm on a frickin' mountainside, and I got stuck trees to pull out. I was looking at some of these smaller used ones that, you know, can still pull a tree out of the ground.
• 30:56
  Testecleese: used, they're still selling for, like, 20 grand. Yeah. For the good ones, anyway.
• 31:01
  El Guapo: You guys saw the, like, tractor slash excavator?
• 31:04
  Brian McFadden: Well, maybe you can get your hands on this secondhand Town of Marmot one.
• 31:09
  Testecleese: Maybe, maybe, I can get a black line. But I'm not talking about the one that's a lawnmower, I'm talking about… it actually isn't, like, the tread. Tread's like an excavator, but it's…
• 31:18
  Testecleese: It'll… it'll only do, like, 10 tons.
• 31:21
  Testecleese: You know what I mean?
• 31:22
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, so…
• 31:23
  Testecleese: So, like, you could tow it behind your pickup truck that's gas-powered without a huge engine.
• 31:28
  Testecleese: But the one this guy stole, you know…
• 31:32
  El Guapo: actual excavator.
• 31:33
  Testecleese: Well, it… well, they're all actual excavators, it's not used for mining.
• 31:37
  El Guapo: Yeah, I mean, like I said, yeah, the guy had a…
• 31:40
  Testecleese: He had a big diesel truck with, dually rear tires and everything.
• 31:45
  El Guapo: Goddamn.
• 31:46
  Testecleese: I was like, the balls, dude, if you get busted, you are so fucked.
• 31:50
  El Guapo: Dude!
• 31:52
  Testecleese: We'll see, dude, we'll see. They didn't publish the… well, if they had the plate, they wouldn't even bother putting the pictures out, would they? They just would have knocked on his door and be like.
• 31:59
  El Guapo: Hey, that's ours. Well, there's some excavators out there, dude, they got a… the GPS code?
• 32:06
  El Guapo: So…
• 32:06
  Testecleese: I consider it's expensive equipment.
• 32:08
  El Guapo: Yeah, like, they leave it, like, open ground, and, it's like… and you have to put, like, the code, like, you have to call her, like, hey, can I get a code? Like, who's this? And you can, like, tell them who they are, and they give you code, they activate it.
• 32:20
  Testecleese: Not… okay, that's not a terrible idea, but you could still have your equipment stolen by then.
• 32:24
  El Guapo: Hell yeah.
• 32:25
  Testecleese: Why don't put… why don't you put a friggin' AirPod on all of them, so you can always find where it is?
• 32:31
  El Guapo: No, no, but there's a vegetable.
• 32:32
  Brian McFadden: Like an AirTag?
• 32:33
  El Guapo: detract.
• 32:34
  Testecleese: That's what I meant, sorry.
• 32:35
  El Guapo: Yeah, no, no, the G-track, like, you cannot just activate it, because it's… it's satellite connected.
• 32:41
  Testecleese: Yeah, you could shut it off, and you have to turn it on.
• 32:45
  El Guapo: Oh, you know where it is, like, hey, I missed my excavator, or what's the serial number? Okay, this is… oh, it's over here, you know?
• 32:50
  Testecleese: But yeah, I mean, this is… this is tech we have on our cell phones.
• 32:54
  Testecleese: We can use with each other's cell phones, like, why don't you have it attached to this heavy equipment?
• 32:58
  El Guapo: Yeah.
• 32:59
  Testecleese: But you're just leaving on the side of the road.
• 33:01
  El Guapo: Probably to get a tracker like that, because so…
• 33:03
  Testecleese: Padlock through the trailer hitch hookup, right?
• 33:05
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, that's true, too.
• 33:08
  Brian McFadden: At least slow it down a little bit.
• 33:10
  Testecleese: Jeez!
• 33:13
  Testecleese: Alright, alright. The new year has rung in.
• 33:18
  Testecleese: Glad we didn't hear about a ton of terrorism, I thought we might.
• 33:21
  El Guapo: -
• 33:22
  Testecleese: No, dude, there's a lot of… A lot of threats.
• 33:24
  El Guapo: No, in France, you have to look at what happened in France and all the European countries.
• 33:29
  Testecleese: That was more… okay, I'm referring to, like, I was expecting a bombing in Times Square.
• 33:34
  El Guapo: No, they're, like, fireworks, like, you know, like, this guy, those flare fireworks that are hitting people's fucking rooms, they're balancing bars.
• 33:42
  Testecleese: That might just be drunk assholes, too, though. Not actually terrorism.
• 33:46
  El Guapo: Mostly don't drinks.
• 33:48
  Testecleese: Okay, well, I have… well…
• 33:50
  El Guapo: I was about to say, they also don't invade, but that's not true.
• 33:56
  El Guapo: Ugh.
• 33:57
  Testecleese: But apparently they stopped one, FBI claims created for stopping one terror attack somewhere in the States, I don't remember where.
• 34:04
  Testecleese: But, there was a fire in a bar on the Swiss Alps.
• 34:10
  Testecleese: And it was like that Great White concert.
• 34:14
  Testecleese: Remember that, Brian?
• 34:15
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, I do.
• 34:15
  Testecleese: We were doing the show when that happened, weren't we?
• 34:17
  Brian McFadden: We were, yep, yep.
• 34:19
  Testecleese: I think we covered that.
• 34:21
  Brian McFadden: I'm pretty sure we did, you know, because we're both great white fans.
• 34:25
  Testecleese: Or at least…
• 34:26
  Brian McFadden: recognize the name. Yep. Well, I was a great white fan. They were more my time.
• 34:32
  Testecleese: But yeah, 40 people died. Just like, what, 40 people died of the Great White concert?
• 34:39
  Testecleese: I'm just pulling that… maybe I'm just thinking biblical, because you see 40 a lot.
• 34:43
  Testecleese: And another 115 have been injured, and that is terrible.
• 34:47
  Brian McFadden: I don't have all the details, but I'm just hoping to God that it wasn't like the Great White Concert when they,
• 34:53
  Testecleese: No, I don't think that… it sounds like…
• 34:57
  Brian McFadden: It was, in a basement type deal. There was one staircase up.
• 35:02
  El Guapo: And ow, there wasn't enough emergency.
• 35:05
  Testecleese: Oh, like an underground barrel.
• 35:08
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, sure, yeah.
• 35:09
  Testecleese: Like, cheers.
• 35:09
  Brian McFadden: Huh? Yep.
• 35:11
  Brian McFadden: And, it seems like what they're suspecting is that, at midnight, they had, like, bottles with candle… sparklers in them, and then the sparklers caught the ceiling on fire.
• 35:24
  Testecleese: God, oh, man.
• 35:27
  Testecleese: Yeah. And I hate to say it.
• 35:30
  Testecleese: But how many people would not have died had panic not struck?
• 35:34
  El Guapo: That's probably true.
• 35:36
  Brian McFadden: Half of them. I bet.
• 35:37
  Testecleese: Yeah.
• 35:38
  Testecleese: Yup, but everyone.
• 35:40
  El Guapo: This is why you don't have open flights and a closed space, you know? Well, that's another thing, too, yeah.
• 35:44
  Testecleese: Or at least… if you're gonna, at least keep an extinguisher nearby. You can put it out in a hurry, right?
• 35:49
  El Guapo: Yeah, about how many people go in the pottery, like, hey, let me see where the X's are, let me see where the signatures are, you know?
• 35:55
  Testecleese: I do, but I've also had extensive… I've had extensive training in fire stuff, yeah.
• 36:01
  Testecleese: Do you guys check the exits when you go somewhere?
• 36:04
  El Guapo: Yeah, I usually only face the door.
• 36:07
  Testecleese: Yeah, keep your back to the wall, know where the door is, know where the other exits are.
• 36:12
  El Guapo: Remember that Western guy that got killed?
• 36:16
  El Guapo: Got kids.
• 36:17
  El Guapo: Yeah, the…
• 36:18
  Brian McFadden: Clint Eastwood?
• 36:19
  El Guapo: No, they got killed by… he was playing poker, he got killed in the back of the head because he was.
• 36:25
  Testecleese: Oh my god. The dead man's hand.
• 36:27
  El Guapo: Yeah…
• 36:28
  Testecleese: Wild Bill, wild bill, Hickok. Yeah, yeah, Hickok.
• 36:31
  El Guapo: Yeah, he was basically…
• 36:33
  Testecleese: What's funny is, I still don't know what the dead man's hand is, but every time it shows up, someone says it to me, I'm like, oh, and then I forget what it is within an hour.
• 36:40
  Brian McFadden: Was it, like, was it, like, aces and sixes or something like that?
• 36:43
  El Guapo: I don't know. Because that's the head that he was dealt that day.
• 36:48
  Testecleese: Michael might be able to help us out on this one.
• 36:50
  El Guapo: He might… as he's Googling to make us look stupid.
• 36:58
  Testecleese: Oh, there you go. Congress is looking to reclaim,
• 37:01
  Testecleese: some relevance after, basically giving up their authority, and they're blaming Trump, but I'm like.
• 37:09
  Brian McFadden: No, this has been going on for a long time before Trump. This has been…
• 37:13
  Brian McFadden: This has been happening for several administrations. Both Democrats and Republicans have… congregate.
• 37:19
  El Guapo: It is.
• 37:19
  Brian McFadden: Just stay faced with what's going on.
• 37:22
  Testecleese: Yeah, I mean, just think about the alphabet agencies.
• 37:25
  El Guapo: Right?
• 37:26
  Testecleese: That's all those people do in Congress's job, for the most part.
• 37:30
  El Guapo: Yeah.
• 37:30
  Testecleese: Except for, you know, FBI.
• 37:32
  Testecleese: And a handful, but… Congress doesn't do shit anymore. Shit!
• 37:38
  Testecleese: How many times does… the President of the United States used military force against a foreign nation without Congress.
• 37:45
  El Guapo: Turned in the 90s.
• 37:47
  Testecleese: The night… Vietnam? Korea?
• 37:50
  El Guapo: That's true. Yeah, after World War II, actually.
• 37:52
  Testecleese: Yeah, exactly, World War II… anything after World War II.
• 37:56
  Testecleese: And they finally signed something saying the president can do immediate actions or whatever.
• 38:02
  Testecleese: But, like, we had sustained conflicts.
• 38:05
  Testecleese: in Korea, in Vietnam, in Afghanistan, Iraq.
• 38:12
  Testecleese: So, we'll see if Congress will actually… is actually looking to do their job, or if they still want to take
• 38:17
  Testecleese: Half the year off, You know?
• 38:21
  El Guapo: Hmm.
• 38:22
  Testecleese: And, and get paid, was it odd?
• 38:25
  El Guapo: $135,000 a year.
• 38:28
  Testecleese: I wanted to say 260.
• 38:30
  El Guapo: Like, a less… above a 100 cut.
• 38:33
  El Guapo: Six figure.
• 38:35
  Testecleese: And what… is it… it's not even one full term, they get their full life, their entire life, right?
• 38:39
  Brian McFadden: I thought it had to go to one term.
• 38:41
  El Guapo: They had finished.
• 38:42
  Testecleese: What's your turn?
• 38:42
  El Guapo: Three chats.
• 38:43
  Testecleese: Three terms.
• 38:44
  El Guapo: Yeah.
• 38:46
  Testecleese: I don't understand why we're paying people…
• 38:49
  El Guapo: For fucking, public service? For the rest of their life.
• 38:52
  Testecleese: Yeah, when they're not doing the public service anymore. Exactly.
• 38:55
  El Guapo: You know what? The other one, too, is the president. I don't think he should be paid full term. I mean…
• 39:00
  El Guapo: retirement after… look, if you were such a great executor.
• 39:04
  El Guapo: Don't you think another company will hire you right away because you know how to manage fucking millions of people?
• 39:08
  Testecleese: But what are you gonna go on and do after being pre… I mean, I guess go make money.
• 39:13
  El Guapo: Well, you executive, you.
• 39:15
  Brian McFadden: Public speaking.
• 39:15
  El Guapo: Yo!
• 39:16
  El Guapo: CEO.
• 39:17
  Testecleese: That's what they all do, and write books.
• 39:19
  Brian McFadden: And they end up on board aboard.
• 39:21
  El Guapo: you're the CEO of the fucking United States, basically, you know? So you become… you could literally become a CEO for a company, too.
• 39:30
  Testecleese: Yeah?
• 39:31
  El Guapo: So why don't we go…
• 39:34
  Testecleese: Or how about we just reduce their annual… the.
• 39:37
  El Guapo: A thousand.
• 39:38
  Testecleese: Annual income of the president to 100 grand, yeah.
• 39:40
  El Guapo: Yeah, I thought it was…
• 39:41
  Testecleese: Once they're automated.
• 39:41
  El Guapo: If you're such a guru, executive, you're gonna make money.
• 39:45
  Testecleese: You're gonna find a way to make money with that 100 grand, exactly.
• 39:49
  Testecleese: Let's be 100% real here. If I had a million dollars cash.
• 39:56
  Testecleese: I could turn that in… I…
• 39:58
  Testecleese: constantly turn that over into more money. It's actually not that difficult.
• 40:02
  Testecleese: by paying a little bit of attention. The problem is you need a decent amount of capital to get started, or else you're gonna be going from $20…
• 40:09
  Testecleese: And it's gonna take you 12 years to get to $20,000, you know what I mean? Right.
• 40:15
  Testecleese: And once you get to $7 million… $7.5 million, at least in the United States.
• 40:22
  Testecleese: you no longer have to work. And I… oh, really?
• 40:26
  Testecleese: like, one, I hear people saying, you don't need that much, and I'm like.
• 40:29
  Brian McFadden: Alright, we've got the Google search in. The Ace of Spades is the death card. That's as close as I know to the death hand.
• 40:39
  Testecleese: So maybe it was Aces and 6s.
• 40:41
  Brian McFadden: He says it could be Black Aces and black eights.
• 40:46
  Testecleese: 8s, maybe. I mean, aces and eights sounds right, too.
• 40:51
  Testecleese: Never, never a big card player, but every time I played, someone always pointed it out to me.
• 40:58
  Testecleese: This is kind of fun having the streaming going again.
• 41:01
  Brian McFadden: Getting some interaction going.
• 41:03
  El Guapo: Batman's hands is a poker referred to specific Consistency of 2 pairs, of Blacks and two… Blacks, AIDS.
• 41:13
  Brian McFadden: Aces and eights, blacks.
• 41:14
  Testecleese: Alright, aces and eights, blah blah.
• 41:16
  Brian McFadden: Our family's associated with Wild Bill Hitchcock. Yeah, that's what we said, yeah, you called it.
• 41:23
  El Guapo: There you go.
• 41:24
  Testecleese: Alright, look at that.
• 41:25
  El Guapo: Black, yep.
• 41:27
  Testecleese: Can't let that knowledge disappear.
• 41:29
  El Guapo: Well, don't let her… don't ever face you back at the door, ever.
• 41:32
  Testecleese: Yes.
• 41:33
  El Guapo: Oh my god, so annoying, like, oh my god, I can't see her, I can't see her. I hate the face.
• 41:39
  Brian McFadden: My wife won't do it either. She won't. She always has to have back to the wall.
• 41:43
  El Guapo: Especially the booth, the booth chairs are those at the back of the wall, and the coffee chairs, and, like, uncomfortable ones in the front, they're like, girls, like, why can girls see you in the booth? Are you gonna fucking knock out the guy who's trying to kill us?
• 41:58
  Testecleese: Oh, excuse me. But anyway, the point I was making about that $7.5 million…
• 42:03
  El Guapo: Is it…
• 42:03
  Testecleese: At that point, You can put it in a checking account.
• 42:07
  Testecleese: And you're gonna create enough interest alone.
• 42:10
  El Guapo: Just to live out.
• 42:11
  Testecleese: And yeah, you never have to touch the principal, and it'll actually slowly grow, because you're probably not going to use all the interest every month.
• 42:19
  Testecleese: So yeah, get your hands on $7.5 million, seriously, just put it aside.
• 42:23
  Testecleese: Don't go buy yourself a couple nice cars, because you won a $10 million lottery.
• 42:26
  El Guapo: Well, the depreciated value as soon as you draw off the lot, you know?
• 42:30
  Testecleese: wall.
• 42:31
  El Guapo: Actually, it's more like an old band game, because you're already, like, I don't have to press nobody, I have to, like, I don't have to go as fast, I don't need a fancy new cool game, I mean, new toys and stuff.
• 42:43
  Testecleese: Well, if I had enough money, I would buy all sorts of crazy toys.
• 42:46
  El Guapo: Yeah, but you do not.
• 42:47
  Testecleese: I'm not gonna say $10 million is enough to buy a frickin' quarter million dollar car, you know what I mean?
• 42:52
  El Guapo: Yeah.
• 42:53
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 42:55
  El Guapo: Anyways…
• 42:57
  Testecleese: Dude, I would love to drive me a Bucati Venerin? Veneron? Whatever it is.
• 43:01
  El Guapo: Probably rent to get it out of your system.
• 43:04
  Testecleese: Yeah, I know, I would wreck it.
• 43:06
  Brian McFadden: Well, the, the, the new mayor of New York City had a, had a, block party…
• 43:12
  El Guapo: Well, yeah.
• 43:13
  Testecleese: Very socialist, very, very communist of him.
• 43:16
  El Guapo: Oh, nice.
• 43:17
  Brian McFadden: There was no food or bathrooms provided for the guests.
• 43:21
  El Guapo: How's up, dude?
• 43:21
  Brian McFadden: So, it was, it was probably worse than the Times Square on New Year's Eve.
• 43:27
  El Guapo: Okay, let me ask you this. Is this usually a Porter John? I mean, I… it's usually a Porter John in big events, yes or no? You know, I book…
• 43:34
  Brian McFadden: Not in Times Square.
• 43:36
  El Guapo: Alright, but I said, food, you expect the food in the fucking…
• 43:39
  Testecleese: street meet. There's no music, no sh… this was, like, his big party.
• 43:44
  El Guapo: Yeah, but I said, like, okay, I woke up in the Bayard with,
• 43:47
  El Guapo: open up to, like, vendors, like, hey, look, I could…
• 43:50
  El Guapo: Go bring your food trucks in here, and sell fucking food, you know?
• 43:56
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, yeah, realistically, all you had to do was contact the food trucks, and they would have shown up. Don't even charge them.
• 44:03
  El Guapo: Yeah!
• 44:04
  Brian McFadden: If they think there's a chance for profit, they will be there.
• 44:07
  Testecleese: Exactly!
• 44:08
  Testecleese: Exactly, and that lets you know how…
• 44:11
  Testecleese: much that these socialists think ahead. They had no idea how any of this works. There was no food, there was no music, there was nowhere to frickin' take a leak, so obviously they're pissed on New York City. Yeah. And it turns out, they put all these people… they corralled them together and put them behind barricades.
• 44:27
  El Guapo: Oh my gosh.
• 44:28
  Testecleese: They didn't feed you.
• 44:29
  Brian McFadden: Even the cops didn't know which was gonna be the entrance and the exit and all that.
• 44:33
  El Guapo: It's gonna be a shit show the next couple years over there, dude.
• 44:39
  Testecleese: It gets so bad, because New York State and the federal government will say, you're not allowed to do that, and then when it doesn't work out, they're gonna blame everyone except for the people involved in the program.
• 44:49
  El Guapo: The people not gonna learn. Not gonna learn.
• 44:51
  Testecleese: No, because they genuinely think that communism will work, but they don't realize… it's like, oh, well, who's gonna take more than they need? I was like, bitch, you weigh 280 pounds!
• 45:02
  Testecleese: Oh, that's something that's…
• 45:03
  El Guapo: I'm gonna say, like, this is the perfect opportunity, like, hey, look, bring you food trucks, I'm not gonna charge you, whatever, and you just charge your taxes, that's it, you know?
• 45:12
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 45:13
  Testecleese: You don't even necessarily have to do that, just at least throw the party for everybody, even say tax-free. We're not gonna collect any money on this.
• 45:21
  El Guapo: Because eventually you're gonna spend in the city, you know?
• 45:23
  Brian McFadden: Exactly.
• 45:24
  Testecleese: Yeah, the peop- all these people came to party, you know what I mean? They're gonna do something besides just street meat from.
• 45:28
  Brian McFadden: And, and…
• 45:29
  Testecleese: drugs.
• 45:29
  Brian McFadden: Some of the people said, I would have had a better experience than watching this as a home on TV type deal, you know?
• 45:36
  Testecleese: Well, one of the guys actually said that he was behind the barricades, and ended up watching it on a screen. Oh, yeah, he watched it on the big screen.
• 45:43
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, oh my god.
• 45:46
  Testecleese: Oh.
• 45:48
  El Guapo: So much fun. Oh my goodness.
• 45:49
  Testecleese: is.
• 45:50
  Testecleese: But yeah, I was reading an article earlier, someone shared on, the social medias about the Snap thing going into effect with, like, sodas.
• 45:58
  El Guapo: Oh, yeah.
• 45:59
  Testecleese: And like, oh, you're really that hateful that you're not gonna let poor people have, you know, yadda yadda. And I was like, no, the issue is you're using my tax dollars because you absolutely need this to survive. If you absolutely need to survive, you don't need this soda, you could be… even… even Gatorade, I'd be okay with. I was like, the problem is, you have blood-type pudding.
• 46:18
  Testecleese: And you want me to keep feeding you, and then you want me to pay for your fucking bypass, too.
• 46:24
  El Guapo: Yeah.
• 46:26
  Testecleese: Does no one else see the problem with this?
• 46:29
  El Guapo: Oh, everybody sees it. Well, they don't want to admit to it.
• 46:33
  El Guapo: No, you know what? No, they don't realize that this shit is bad. Because school system is shitty now, dude.
• 46:40
  Testecleese: Well, I don't think they understand that… where this money comes from. They think it's legitimately free.
• 46:45
  El Guapo: Yeah.
• 46:45
  Testecleese: And then it's like, who's paying the doctors, who's paying the nurses? Who's keeping the lights on at the hospital? The government, the government. The government.
• 46:51
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, but that's…
• 46:52
  Testecleese: Yeah, that came out of your pocket!
• 46:54
  El Guapo: Don't see that shit, because it'll work.
• 46:59
  El Guapo: I love it even better when people complain because they get their paycheck. Look how much the government took. You know what?
• 47:04
  Testecleese: And then you're like, yeah, you're gonna get all of that back at the end of the year. You're literally not paying taxes.
• 47:09
  El Guapo: If you don't get assistance from the government, you're not gonna go tax back.
• 47:14
  Testecleese: Well, no, if you're getting assistance from the government, any tax you did pay is coming back.
• 47:19
  El Guapo: Yeah.
• 47:21
  Testecleese: That's… that's what's that thing, and they're like, oh, free money! I was like, no, it was your money that you gave the government without their…
• 47:27
  El Guapo: I'm saying, like, if you get a government assistant, like, this fucking Dow, oh, you need government daycare, you're not gonna get your money back. No, that's it.
• 47:36
  Testecleese: Well, that… see, that is the issue of filing your taxes correctly, too.
• 47:40
  Testecleese: Just don't give them the money in the first place at that point.
• 47:43
  El Guapo: Yeah.
• 47:45
  Testecleese: Most people… Most W-2 workers get a refund every year.
• 47:50
  El Guapo: Yeah.
• 47:51
  Testecleese: And… Hey, I swear, Brian and I bring this up every year, too.
• 47:56
  Testecleese: It's not… it's not free money. That's your money. You gave the government an interest-free loan that they went and spent on, for all you know, bombs to give to Israel.
• 48:08
  Testecleese: You know what I mean?
• 48:11
  Testecleese: And then when it's time to give you back your money, they hit a button and it just magically appears, because that's how we make money these days. We don't even have to print it.
• 48:19
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 48:21
  Testecleese: Alright.
• 48:22
  Testecleese: You see this, mom Donnie said something about a vow to, what is it,
• 48:29
  Testecleese: Swap rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism.
• 48:34
  El Guapo: Fuck, communism.
• 48:35
  Testecleese: Communism. Yeah, and I was like, so you don't want me to be able to go out and survive on my own, you want me to depend on the entire community, and here's the thing.
• 48:44
  Testecleese: Have a look at, North Korea from orbit at night.
• 48:49
  El Guapo: Good night.
• 48:50
  Testecleese: Lights in China?
• 48:52
  Testecleese: Lights in South Korea, the warmth of collectivism is dark.
• 48:57
  Brian McFadden: Very dark.
• 48:59
  Testecleese: I mean, literally dark, there's no lights, there's no.
• 49:02
  El Guapo: Well.
• 49:02
  Testecleese: There's not enough energy.
• 49:03
  El Guapo: I really like that, because there's light pollution, you can see the stars, you can travel the way you're supposed to travel.
• 49:10
  Testecleese: Hey, if that's legit… if that's legit what's going on over there, bravo.
• 49:15
  Brian McFadden: If they get more than they pay, it's a grant.
• 49:20
  Testecleese: Alright.
• 49:21
  Brian McFadden: For people paying in on their taxes, you know?
• 49:26
  Testecleese: You know what, even better than a grant, how about you get,
• 49:30
  Testecleese: Not even a rebate, but what do they call it when you…
• 49:33
  Testecleese: don't have to pay as much tax… yeah, rebate, you get to basically…
• 49:38
  Testecleese: turn around and say, I already paid this tax.
• 49:41
  Testecleese: They hold onto it, Jesus.
• 49:42
  Brian McFadden: You owe tax… It's a tax credit.
• 49:44
  Testecleese: Okay, credit's a good word for it, okay. Yeah. I already paid more.
• 49:49
  Testecleese: They hang onto it until you need to pay taxes, and then they collect from that.
• 49:57
  Testecleese: Jeez. And it's funny, yeah, I know, I say you're not paying any taxes. These people, folks are probably paying their state taxes, though.
• 50:06
  Testecleese: Speaking of, as Brian leaves Michigan.
• 50:10
  Testecleese: as,
• 50:13
  Testecleese: I wish Brian was here, he would know this better than me. But their gas tax, their marijuana tax, and their minimum wage, have risen.
• 50:23
  Testecleese: since the 1st.
• 50:25
  El Guapo: As Brian's back from peeing, huh? I think… you know what, let's… why are we doing, like, only a dollar? We need to pump this minimum waste to $30, dude.
• 50:34
  El Guapo: 30 fucking dollars.
• 50:37
  Testecleese: You sound like a communist.
• 50:38
  El Guapo: Good, good.
• 50:39
  Testecleese: Why not 40?
• 50:40
  El Guapo: You know what, you're right. 50. Fucking 50, even 50.
• 50:43
  Testecleese: Seriously, why not $100 an hour?
• 50:45
  Testecleese: Avoid everything.
• 50:46
  El Guapo: If affordable living, you know?
• 50:49
  Testecleese: Yeah, you gotta be able… and you need a…
• 50:51
  El Guapo: You don't Different ways, you're doing affordable living, $100 an hour.
• 50:56
  El Guapo: We need to start climbing this shit, dude.
• 50:59
  El Guapo: So they're fucking learning.
• 51:00
  El Guapo: You know what, you're not gonna learn until you fucking get in your way.
• 51:03
  Testecleese: Because obviously, mom and pop down the street running their little deli have so much revenue coming in that they can pay me $100 an hour.
• 51:12
  El Guapo: to run the counter when they're going to church, you know what I mean?
• 51:18
  Testecleese: And that won't affect the prices, either. They're gonna pay me $100 an hour, and magically, more than $100 an hour product is gonna be sold when I'm there.
• 51:29
  Testecleese: So, Brian, have you purchased any marijuana since you've been in Michigan?
• 51:35
  Brian McFadden: No.
• 51:36
  El Guapo: What do you mean?
• 51:36
  Testecleese: Are you lying because, other people are listening to this?
• 51:41
  El Guapo: Well, he got a headphone, oh, no, he got a headphone, nobody.
• 51:45
  Testecleese: We're doing a live broadcast and recording a show, dude.
• 51:48
  El Guapo: Got ya.
• 51:48
  Brian McFadden: Huh.
• 51:49
  El Guapo: No, no, I would never do that.
• 51:52
  Testecleese: Okay.
• 51:53
  Testecleese: Well, apparently the taxes on that went up, and I'm curious.
• 51:56
  Brian McFadden: And I learned about that more yesterday. It's basically… it's not a tax on consumers, it's a tax on the actual dispensaries.
• 52:08
  Testecleese: Yeah, that is.
• 52:09
  Brian McFadden: more to get their product from the state of Michigan.
• 52:13
  Testecleese: Well, which is obviously gonna get included into the price that's being sold to the customer, though, right? So it's not a sales tax, but it's still getting handed to the same people. The consumer always paid the tax, right?
• 52:27
  Testecleese: Alright.
• 52:28
  Testecleese: I'm just curious what it is, because, Massachusetts, when I left, was 17%.
• 52:35
  Testecleese: Mass didn't screw around, like, hey, it's illegal in the country. It's only legal in a handful of states that are gonna allow it.
• 52:42
  Testecleese: let's go ahead and do it and make some money, and I was like, good, at least you're doing it the right way. You know what I mean?
• 52:47
  Testecleese: If you don't want to legalize it, at least do it in terms of, let's make some money to pay to fix these fucking roads, because Brian.
• 52:53
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, it's basically a 24% wholesale tax levied on the product.
• 52:59
  Testecleese: Woohoo!
• 53:02
  Testecleese: Okay, whole… okay, wholesale, that makes sense, that's why it would affect the distrib… Manufacturers, the distributors.
• 53:07
  Testecleese: The retail outlets more.
• 53:11
  Testecleese: But Brian, you know as well as I, the roads get destroyed in the winter up north, don't they?
• 53:16
  Brian McFadden: Oh, yeah.
• 53:17
  Testecleese: You get that, the moisture gets into the roads, and it just crum… cracks apart, then crumbles.
• 53:24
  Testecleese: And that's when you wonder, hey, why am I paying so much gasoline tax in Massachusetts, which is supposed to…
• 53:30
  Testecleese: Pay for fixing the roads.
• 53:32
  Brian McFadden: Yep. But I'm still…
• 53:34
  Testecleese: Weaving down my road.
• 53:35
  Brian McFadden: I'm saying that, gas tax in, Michigan is at 46 cents a gallon.
• 53:41
  Testecleese: Oh my god!
• 53:44
  Testecleese: So, what is it, like, 25%?
• 53:47
  Brian McFadden: Pretty much.
• 53:50
  Testecleese: Yeah, no wonder why gas costs more in Michigan. It's not the fucking prison of the United States, it's Michigan!
• 53:56
  Brian McFadden: Exactly. We gotta fix our potholes in the road, because they develop daily in the winter.
• 54:01
  Testecleese: fix them!
• 54:04
  Testecleese: You know this is what was I? At a certain point, you say, it's time to rip the road up and put a new one in, but no, they come in and they fill the fucking cracks in the road. It looks like putty, right?
• 54:13
  El Guapo: You could do, put, drop peanuts on there.
• 54:17
  Testecleese: In the pothole?
• 54:18
  El Guapo: Yeah.
• 54:19
  Testecleese: Yeah, that hap- where was that?
• 54:21
  El Guapo: I forgot where everybody is affected.
• 54:23
  El Guapo: We talked about this on the show, yeah, someone drew a cock in a pothole, and the city came and paved over it. Yeah.
• 54:29
  Brian McFadden: And he's like, huh? Good.
• 54:31
  Testecleese: Yeah, good for you guys!
• 54:32
  El Guapo: Look what happened with the, the LGBT cross sign. They came clean the next day, within hours.
• 54:42
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, we talked about it on last week's show.
• 54:43
  El Guapo: No, I know.
• 54:44
  Testecleese: Bing Alright, enough.
• 54:48
  Brian McFadden: So, why are people in… California mad about, no tax on tips.
• 54:54
  El Guapo: Do they like taxes.
• 54:55
  Testecleese: Well, California is one of many blue states that are refusing to adopt this no-tax-on-tips policy locally.
• 55:05
  Brian McFadden: So, federally, there's no tax on tips, but they still gotta pay state taxes on their tips?
• 55:09
  Testecleese: Correct. Massachusetts is one, New York, Colorado… interestingly, no, Michigan is not on that list, but that's only because Michigan has something in place that they mirror the federal policy on taxation.
• 55:24
  Testecleese: So whatever the federal government does, they do.
• 55:26
  El Guapo: That kind of, like, yeah.
• 55:28
  Testecleese: So I was like, alright, I can understand that, at least, right?
• 55:31
  Brian McFadden: Right, that makes sense.
• 55:34
  Testecleese: But yeah, and it's…
• 55:38
  Testecleese: My sister, it's funny, my sister's a freaking organic chemist, right?
• 55:43
  Testecleese: What she… okay, I say that. She has a degree in organic chemistry.
• 55:49
  Testecleese: She's, a masseuse.
• 55:52
  Brian McFadden: Okay.
• 55:53
  Testecleese: Making about as much money working far a few hours, by the way, than an organic chemist.
• 56:00
  Testecleese: And I was thinking, I was like, I wonder how many tips they get, and if that, you know… then I was like, I wonder if tips at a massage place is, like.
• 56:09
  Testecleese: Against the law, like, as if it was, like,
• 56:12
  Testecleese: whoring, you know what I mean?
• 56:14
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 56:16
  Brian McFadden: Well, it depends on if there's a happy ending involved.
• 56:18
  Testecleese: I suppose, and I got a feeling she's not working in a place like that, but… Yeah, it's just…
• 56:30
  Testecleese: They liked the idea of no tax on tips when Kamala Harris said the same thing in her campaign when she copied Trump's platform, and it was brilliant when she copied Trump, right?
• 56:38
  Brian McFadden: Right, exactly.
• 56:39
  Testecleese: As soon as she leaves, it was the dumbest thing they ever heard again.
• 56:42
  Brian McFadden: Of course.
• 56:45
  Testecleese: And that's why I just can't take these folks seriously. It's one thing if you disagree with me.
• 56:49
  Testecleese: Even without really good reasons.
• 56:52
  Testecleese: But when you're just ignoring the reality in front of you, and then turning around, and…
• 56:58
  Testecleese: If you're gonna flip-flop opinions, don't call people Nazis for having different opinions.
• 57:03
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 57:04
  Testecleese: Alright.
• 57:07
  Testecleese: stop.
• 57:08
  Testecleese: Alright. The courts have been busy, not only with the… National Guard thing.
• 57:17
  Testecleese: But,
• 57:18
  Testecleese: I don't know who Jan Crawford is? Jan Crawford skew… oh, Jan, I'm sorry, her name is Jan Crawford. She skewered the liberals. She's from CBS.
• 57:27
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 57:28
  Testecleese: She went off.
• 57:30
  Testecleese: on liberals saying… I'll talk about the Supreme Court, saying it's corrupt, and it's a bunch of Nazis, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
• 57:38
  Testecleese: She said, it's been a mostly conservative Supreme Court for, like, 20 years.
• 57:43
  Testecleese: This moves back and forth, this is how the system works, it's how it's supposed to work.
• 57:48
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, for as long as I can remember growing up, it was the liberal court.
• 57:52
  Testecleese: Yeah, and I laugh, too, when you say it's a conservative Supreme Court. I was like, how? What makes it a, quote, conservative Supreme Court?
• 58:01
  El Guapo: Because they know the Constitution.
• 58:05
  Testecleese: What was that?
• 58:06
  El Guapo: They follow the Constitution?
• 58:09
  Testecleese: Well… Amy Comey Barrett and, what's his name there that the Dems tried to kill? Kavanaugh.
• 58:16
  El Guapo: Yeah.
• 58:17
  Testecleese: Have voted against the, quote, conservative justices several times.
• 58:21
  El Guapo: Yeah, because they follow the Constitution, but they're still gonna call a conservator, you know?
• 58:27
  Testecleese: Exactly, that's what's crazy, is they're…
• 58:30
  Testecleese: They vote against the way the Republicans want, often enough. And it's like, well, that's the way we read the Constitution, I don't care if it pissed you off. But then you get Ketaji Brown Jackson, who's going to frickin' goo up.
• 58:43
  Testecleese: Gemini or Grok AI asking it advice on legal stuff, and it's like…
• 58:49
  Brian McFadden: run.
• 58:50
  Testecleese: What?
• 58:51
  Testecleese: Have you read her statements that have come out?
• 58:54
  El Guapo: Too fucking long, dude! Too fucking long.
• 58:55
  Testecleese: And it's ridiculous! They're written, like, as if AI did it. It was like, it was a warm…
• 59:02
  Testecleese: June afternoon. Rain might come in later. She could feel the moisture in the air. And it's like, what the fuck?
• 59:09
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 59:13
  Testecleese: Dude, even Keegan was like, that bitch is out of her mind.
• 59:22
  Testecleese: Here we go.
• 59:24
  Testecleese: This says Supreme Court could… take up a case above the 14th Amendment, and what Trump is…
• 59:33
  Testecleese: Been trying to do about birthright citizenship.
• 59:36
  Testecleese: The Supreme Court could always pick up a case.
• 59:39
  Brian McFadden: I thought, no, I think they're gonna redefine it. There's a case going up right now that they agree to listen to about this.
• 59:45
  Testecleese: Oh, so they've already agreed to listen to it. They could redefine it in this case. Yes. See, here's the thing, is it depends on what you think redefines… what the original definition is.
• 59:57
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 59:58
  Testecleese: Because I always say, the way it's written absolutely matters.
• 1:00:03
  Testecleese: It really does.
• 1:00:05
  Testecleese: But at the same time, this amendment was clearly put in place to saying anyone who's been here and born here as a slave is now a citizen.
• 1:00:13
  El Guapo: Right. Yeah, because they were subject to our laws.
• 1:00:16
  Testecleese: And… It could have been written better, but it's also possible that language has evolved so long since then.
• 1:00:24
  El Guapo: Yeah, because.
• 1:00:25
  Testecleese: It's like, like Guapo just said, subject to the laws therein.
• 1:00:28
  El Guapo: Yeah, like, you know, I always make fun of British, because they're not a citizen, they're subject to the king.
• 1:00:34
  El Guapo: You know? And basically.
• 1:00:36
  Testecleese: Correct.
• 1:00:38
  El Guapo: Like, we know…
• 1:00:39
  Testecleese: I'm also thinking this means illegal immigrants. They're not necessarily, quote, subject to the law.
• 1:00:45
  Brian McFadden: No, no, and I think that's the direction to go.
• 1:00:48
  El Guapo: But, but…
• 1:00:49
  Testecleese: They tend to get deported.
• 1:00:50
  El Guapo: the subject means that you also have to, like, if the knee military
• 1:00:54
  El Guapo: Recruit people that cannot be recruited, because otherwise they're not.
• 1:00:58
  El Guapo: They're not up to our laws, unless you go fucking,
• 1:01:02
  El Guapo: French, what's the name of the French religionese?
• 1:01:05
  Testecleese: Foreign Legion, and it's a mercenary group like Blackwater. And you're crazy, Guapo, because I know more than one dude I knew in the Navy that got their citizenship by joining the U.S. Navy.
• 1:01:14
  El Guapo: Yes, but there were citizens before that.
• 1:01:16
  Testecleese: No, they weren't.
• 1:01:17
  El Guapo: Because that's.
• 1:01:18
  Testecleese: This is your girl.
• 1:01:19
  El Guapo: 3 car holders before that.
• 1:01:22
  Testecleese: Possibly, I didn't ask him a whole lot about.
• 1:01:24
  El Guapo: No, you have to be… you have to have at least a green card in order to.
• 1:01:26
  Testecleese: Okay. Yeah, I knew two.
• 1:01:28
  El Guapo: You can…
• 1:01:28
  Testecleese: Chinese, because…
• 1:01:30
  El Guapo: Because if you're illegal, you already get deported, you know?
• 1:01:34
  El Guapo: You could then go to the military, like, hey, I want to join, like, okay, you got a Greek car? Like, no. Then you get fucked.
• 1:01:39
  Testecleese: Well…
• 1:01:40
  Testecleese: You say that, but in times of war, all sorts of crazy stuff happens when people try to sign up, too.
• 1:01:45
  El Guapo: entire war right now, so…
• 1:01:46
  Testecleese: No, but, for example, Ukraine is.
• 1:01:49
  Testecleese: And they are accepting people that are not Ukrainian citizens.
• 1:01:52
  El Guapo: We're not fucking… We're not in that situation right now.
• 1:01:56
  El Guapo: We're, like, quote…
• 1:01:57
  Testecleese: Exactly, like you said, right now, that's the key phrase there.
• 1:02:03
  El Guapo: Because I said that, why would you accept members from, Russia? I mean, they're Russian here illegal.
• 1:02:08
  El Guapo: Are you gonna accept it to be subject to you?
• 1:02:11
  Testecleese: No, you're right, you would have to have crazy vetting systems in place to make sure that they're even safe to be in the country.
• 1:02:17
  El Guapo: Yeah.
• 1:02:17
  Testecleese: And then make sure that they weren't here to actually steal, like, nuclear weapon technology.
• 1:02:23
  El Guapo: So now, in the same hand, I mean, the same phrase, let's put Chinese people having kids in here, move… having kids, citizen, then move back to China, then become fucking congressmen.
• 1:02:34
  El Guapo: You know?
• 1:02:35
  Testecleese: Isn't that exactly what we… yeah, we…
• 1:02:37
  El Guapo: That's why they… that's why we're going through this… this…
• 1:02:40
  Testecleese: one.
• 1:02:40
  El Guapo: this right now.
• 1:02:42
  Testecleese: Yeah, exactly, because they're gonna… well, Obama brought up the anchor babies. They're walking across the border, flying in, popping out a baby, boom, the kid's a citizen.
• 1:02:51
  Testecleese: They go back to China.
• 1:02:53
  Testecleese: kid goes through school being indoctrinated in China, comes back to the United States at 30, becomes a congressman, works his way up.
• 1:03:01
  Testecleese: That could be a real issue, couldn't it?
• 1:03:03
  Brian McFadden: Nope.
• 1:03:04
  Testecleese: And Obama was the one who brought this up as a major point. You bring it up now, and you're some frickin' xenophobic… something-phobe, right?
• 1:03:12
  El Guapo: Yeah, I know.
• 1:03:13
  Brian McFadden: Well, nobody remembers what Obama said.
• 1:03:16
  El Guapo: No, we're gonna put that shit to that shit.
• 1:03:18
  Testecleese: I remember Obama saying…
• 1:03:20
  El Guapo: Unless you're a dish junkie, like us.
• 1:03:23
  Testecleese: Yeah. Well, you should have had a better father.
• 1:03:27
  Testecleese: After he killed an American citizen child overseas with a Ginsu bomb.
• 1:03:33
  Testecleese: oh, okay, this one bothers me.
• 1:03:37
  Testecleese: And not for the reason why you might think, but Trump admin, is not allowed to share the…
• 1:03:42
  Testecleese: Medicaid data of immigrants with, like, ICE, according to a judge.
• 1:03:46
  Testecleese: I don't understand why you couldn't, unless it was specifically specified you couldn't.
• 1:03:53
  Testecleese: Like, the government's the government, right?
• 1:03:55
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:03:58
  Testecleese: Like, it specifically says that when you fi- our fingerprint.
• 1:04:01
  Brian McFadden: Well, Blue State sued to prevent this happening.
• 1:04:05
  Brian McFadden: Because it's being used in deportation, so…
• 1:04:08
  Testecleese: Yes! Oh my god, you're giving illegal immigrants Medicaid that you swear to God isn't happening?
• 1:04:13
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 1:04:16
  Testecleese: I mean, it's one thing when, like, the military fingerprints you.
• 1:04:19
  Testecleese: for identification purposes, you know? But that information is actually protected because of, you know, laws saying that that's not going to be used for anything besides identification of, like, remains.
• 1:04:32
  Testecleese: They're not gonna… they're not gonna go through the military database of, fingerprints looking for a suspect of a break-in.
• 1:04:40
  El Guapo: Yeah.
• 1:04:43
  Testecleese: But that specifically has a law. If anything, it doesn't specifically has a law saying you can't share information across
• 1:04:51
  Testecleese: Military? Government?
• 1:04:53
  Brian McFadden: than they're allowed to, I think.
• 1:04:55
  El Guapo: No.
• 1:04:57
  Testecleese: I mean, sharing information is completely different than, like, enacting laws that you weren't necessarily.
• 1:05:02
  El Guapo: Yeah, yeah, I think you create offenses, so they don't, you know…
• 1:05:07
  El Guapo: I said that you have to have, like, a really good warrant, just like, okay, I need information for this specific person. Okay, cool. Now, show us the warrant.
• 1:05:15
  El Guapo: Why, you know?
• 1:05:18
  Testecleese: I'm sure you guys, have caught this Nick Shirley thing.
• 1:05:22
  El Guapo: Oh, damn, man. You know what, I'm pissed off.
• 1:05:26
  El Guapo: In a lot of ways.
• 1:05:27
  Testecleese: Who's not? Everyone's pissed off about this one, actually.
• 1:05:29
  El Guapo: Okay, okay, so all these motherfuckers are buying all this fancy stuff.
• 1:05:34
  El Guapo: cars, just… I wish I was a car dealership over there, selling their fucking cars and shit, you know?
• 1:05:39
  El Guapo: Because you're not gaining the system, but you're gaining… because they're gaining the system, so it's not… you're, like, third party, you know?
• 1:05:49
  Testecleese: Yeah, well… He's the one who…
• 1:05:52
  Testecleese: It's funny, the wife was like, I've heard about this, this fraud, I haven't heard about this Nick Shirley guy yet. I was like, that's because you don't…
• 1:06:01
  Testecleese: Follow… follow news?
• 1:06:04
  Testecleese: She gets what comes across her Facebook feed.
• 1:06:07
  Testecleese: You know?
• 1:06:09
  Testecleese: And I was like, no.
• 1:06:10
  El Guapo: It's famous now.
• 1:06:13
  Testecleese: Yeah, and he started out… well, we'll get to that in a minute.
• 1:06:16
  El Guapo: But he's not…
• 1:06:16
  Testecleese: But he exposed a massive childcare scam in Minnesota.
• 1:06:21
  El Guapo: Yeah.
• 1:06:25
  Testecleese: And he used to be…
• 1:06:28
  Testecleese: doing stupid pranks on YouTube, like flying to New York City with his buddy without his parental consent when he was a teenager, you know?
• 1:06:35
  El Guapo: Hmm… How do you know about this? You look at the CNA because of Winter's background?
• 1:06:42
  Testecleese: How do I know it?
• 1:06:44
  El Guapo: Yeah.
• 1:06:44
  Testecleese: You shared the article about what he used.
• 1:06:46
  El Guapo: No, no, no, no, no, no, about him flying to New York City and stuff.
• 1:06:49
  Testecleese: is in that article. Oh my god. That's the kind of stuff he used to do on YouTube.
• 1:06:54
  El Guapo: Well, I saw… I saw that CNN were concerned about his… they were investigating him, not a fucking fraud, you know?
• 1:07:03
  Testecleese: Yes, and the best part is, they're saying stuff like, oh, what, you knocked on the door of the childcare, you expect them to just let you in and see the kids?
• 1:07:10
  El Guapo: No, but at least you can get an application.
• 1:07:13
  Testecleese: Yeah, exactly, and I was like, no, I don't expect to just be able to walk in and see the children. However, I expect someone to be able to open the door. Usually there's a foyer.
• 1:07:24
  Testecleese: That you… that you basically get buzzed into. Yeah. And then you go in there and talk, like, how do you enroll your children if you can't get in or out of the building?
• 1:07:32
  El Guapo: And you saw the way CNN did the investigation to make phone calls. It's just the fucking cell phone, though, everybody get fucking lazy. Instead of fucking going over there, knocking door by door by door by door.
• 1:07:43
  El Guapo: see which… how they look. They're like, hey, let me make a phone call, like, hey, and even that, it proved to them that it was all fake.
• 1:07:52
  El Guapo: Because only…
• 1:07:53
  Testecleese: depth.
• 1:07:53
  Testecleese: the one of them was, like, an early learning center, right? And they misspelled learning on the door.
• 1:07:59
  El Guapo: Learning, learning.
• 1:08:01
  Testecleese: Learing. And then the phone number attached to it was the fucking governor's office!
• 1:08:08
  Testecleese: So you called Tim Walls, trying to get in touch with the early leering, center.
• 1:08:15
  Testecleese: And yeah, I don't… the webpage doesn't usually just go to a nowhere, either, you know what I mean? It's like, how do you enroll kids in these places if there's no…
• 1:08:23
  El Guapo: A way to do it, you know?
• 1:08:24
  Testecleese: Yeah, no way to get in or get in touch with these people. And then there's the one white lady's like, don't open up! It's ice!
• 1:08:32
  Testecleese: If I were that dude, I'd have been like, no, I'm not, should I call them, though?
• 1:08:38
  El Guapo: Like, is this illegal?
• 1:08:40
  El Guapo: Yeah.
• 1:08:42
  El Guapo: whatever, but I know when it's…
• 1:08:45
  El Guapo: It's just unknown that CNA would not investigate a fraud, it would investigate a person.
• 1:08:51
  Testecleese: Oh, we got that. We… oh, that's in here somewhere, don't worry.
• 1:08:55
  Testecleese: Yeah. Check this out, though. I have an article here, and that's why I wrote, check the date and source. This is an ABC5 KSTP.
• 1:09:06
  Testecleese: you know, a local Minnesota, ABC affiliate.
• 1:09:09
  El Guapo: Yeah, yeah.
• 1:09:10
  Testecleese: January 28th, 2025.
• 1:09:16
  Testecleese: 62 investigations underway involving federally funded Minnesota childcare centers.
• 1:09:22
  Testecleese: So these guys covered this… Almost a year ago.
• 1:09:26
  Testecleese: And put it out there, but now…
• 1:09:28
  Brian McFadden: Weird.
• 1:09:28
  Testecleese: But now it's complete garbage.
• 1:09:32
  Testecleese: Because it went national.
• 1:09:35
  Testecleese: And like Guapo said, they're, they're… they're trying to,
• 1:09:38
  Testecleese: It's all ad hominem attacks. They're trying to attack the source of this information, not the information. And have you seen these memes, like, oh, what if these voices defended themselves like, these right-wingers say you should, and they just blasted them?
• 1:09:51
  El Guapo: They got, they got no fucking, send your ground laws in Minnesota, so what the fuck?
• 1:09:56
  Testecleese: And I was like, first of all, you don't just shoot someone for knocking on your door.
• 1:09:59
  El Guapo: Yeah.
• 1:10:00
  Testecleese: Okay? You don't.
• 1:10:03
  Testecleese: Second, he wasn't trying to kick indoors and look for children, and there's a…
• 1:10:07
  El Guapo: Yeah, hey!
• 1:10:08
  El Guapo: It's a business, and you should be open for business.
• 1:10:11
  Testecleese: Yeah!
• 1:10:12
  Testecleese: Especially because in government dollars. And there's a picture out there of this right-winger MAGA went nuts and kicked in the door of a daycare center. Well, if you have a good look at that picture.
• 1:10:25
  Testecleese: The door wasn't kicked in, it was kicked out.
• 1:10:29
  Testecleese: AND… There was no bolt cylinder in the locking mechanism.
• 1:10:37
  Testecleese: So, like, that was bullshit.
• 1:10:39
  El Guapo: Damn.
• 1:10:43
  Testecleese: Yeah, and as this isn't happening, and everyone's out of their fucking mind, the Democrats, Democrat in Washington, anyway, is introducing a bill to make sure that these daycare centers cannot be, like, audited, basically. They can't be checked up on to make sure they're legitimate.
• 1:10:58
  Brian McFadden: That's bullshit. If we got federal money going to these daycare places, any places, they should be able to be audited.
• 1:11:06
  Brian McFadden: Yeah. Taxpayer money going somewhere, we should be able to follow a trail of breadcrumbs to find out where the money's actually being used for.
• 1:11:17
  Testecleese: at least let us see that you have children in this place, instead of just a friggin' blacked-out building with a locked door. Shit! When Nick Shirley went to the door, he was talking about enrolling his kid Joey, right? And the lady's like, why would you… she's like, why would you want to do that? And he's like, well, I want my kid in daycare. She's like.
• 1:11:32
  El Guapo: His wife…
• 1:11:33
  Testecleese: what? Why? He's like, well, I've heard good reviews. She's like, from who?
• 1:11:38
  Testecleese: That's a great way to sell your business, huh?
• 1:11:40
  El Guapo: Yeah. No, but it was like, oh, your kids cannot go here because your kid's white, too, like…
• 1:11:46
  Testecleese: Yeah, they.
• 1:11:46
  El Guapo: Okay?
• 1:11:46
  Testecleese: I saw that, that came up. She got racist about it, too.
• 1:11:50
  El Guapo: Yeah.
• 1:11:52
  El Guapo: This should be the meme, like, learning,
• 1:11:55
  El Guapo: Luring center, and little Joe with a little sub, you know, tried to go to kindergarten daycare, but he can't because he's too white.
• 1:12:03
  Testecleese: That's what got me, too, is I keep hearing how racist all this is. It's like, they're checking out child daycare and retirement home fraud. I was like, if you immediately jump to Somalians because of fraud, that's you being racist.
• 1:12:19
  Testecleese: Alright. I gotta, relieve myself. What else is going on, Brian?
• 1:12:23
  Brian McFadden: Oh, we got,
• 1:12:25
  Brian McFadden: Kash Patel's saying that, this $4 million taxpayer fraud is just the tip of the iceberg, and he's vowing to follow the money and protect the children.
• 1:12:37
  El Guapo: I'm kind of glad about that, but… Dan Bond, I mean, what's his name, Pam Bondi?
• 1:12:43
  El Guapo: She said, like, oh, we're… after this shit came up.
• 1:12:47
  El Guapo: She's like, well, we got 4 indictments stopped back in March, like, hold on, back in March?
• 1:12:53
  Brian McFadden: Or indictments don't do shit.
• 1:12:55
  El Guapo: No, but no, no, they got no indictment, but they got, like, people arrested and stuff back in March, like, prosecuted completely.
• 1:13:02
  El Guapo: Hold on, so this is before you time, so it's not you taking credit, it's just like gaslighting us about this shit, dude.
• 1:13:09
  El Guapo: It's like, no, you need to go back and investigate every fucking single fucking daycare, every fucking healthcare, too, you know, I mean, apparently they're doing that with that.
• 1:13:20
  El Guapo: And people are pissed, too. Even Washington states are pissed, too, because apparently it's that affecting them over there.
• 1:13:27
  El Guapo: You know?
• 1:13:32
  El Guapo: But…
• 1:13:33
  Brian McFadden: Trump's come out and said that he's got the real face of, Minnesota fraud, and she's not Somali.
• 1:13:41
  El Guapo: Probably a white, what, what, liberal. Oh, team, Tim Walts.
• 1:13:46
  Testecleese: So what?
• 1:13:47
  Brian McFadden: Bach is the Executive Director of the nonprofit Feed Our Future.
• 1:13:55
  Testecleese: Okay, her name is Bot?
• 1:13:57
  Brian McFadden: Bach.
• 1:13:59
  Testecleese: Oh, okay.
• 1:13:59
  Brian McFadden: B-O-P-K.
• 1:14:00
  Testecleese: I don't care what color her skin is. If she's committing fraud and taking taxpayer dollars, she should go to prison.
• 1:14:08
  Brian McFadden: Nope.
• 1:14:10
  Testecleese: And this is the problem, is like, well, white people are doing it, too. It's like, good, put them in prison, too! Yeah. Right?
• 1:14:15
  Brian McFadden: He looks awful white in this photo.
• 1:14:17
  El Guapo: Nobody's excusing her, you know? Exactly, Guabo. No one's excusing her for being white. Yeah. We…
• 1:14:24
  Testecleese: I want my tax dollars to stop being stolen, because maybe if we weren't putting millions of dollars into people's pockets.
• 1:14:29
  Testecleese: If we took that money, we could actually do some of these programs the liberals want so bad.
• 1:14:34
  El Guapo: Yeah.
• 1:14:35
  El Guapo: It should be cheaper, too, you know? It's not gonna be millions of dollars, you know?
• 1:14:40
  El Guapo: Look at the people.
• 1:14:41
  Testecleese: Well, yeah, that money could go pay for something else, like roads.
• 1:14:46
  El Guapo: Oh, we could get tax slacks, don't ask.
• 1:14:52
  Testecleese: Alright.
• 1:14:54
  Testecleese: oh, there we go.
• 1:14:59
  Testecleese: You shits on the list, and I heard people talk about it, I said, what the fuck are they talking about? I realized it was what I thought, but Guapo…
• 1:15:05
  El Guapo: People are wondering if this.
• 1:15:08
  Testecleese: Congresswoman was murdered recently in Minnesota is related to this, crackdown.
• 1:15:13
  El Guapo: she voted against, child… child, child daycare, the…
• 1:15:19
  El Guapo: Show fucking taxes go to illegal immigrants?
• 1:15:23
  El Guapo: I guess it was a book audit.
• 1:15:26
  Testecleese: I thought it was already against the law to give illegal immigrants tax money.
• 1:15:28
  El Guapo: This is the state, okay? She was the Speaker of the House.
• 1:15:32
  El Guapo: And she bought it, yes, with it, it's gonna be… we're not gonna do that. So, apparently, the person didn't like… I mean, could be one of the costas, I'm not saying that it is, but it's kinda…
• 1:15:44
  El Guapo: Kind of connected the dots, you know, in a way, you know?
• 1:15:49
  Testecleese: Maybe! I mean… Interesting that…
• 1:15:53
  El Guapo: Your money's about to stop, how do you think you're gonna fill up, you know?
• 1:15:57
  Testecleese: How about you get a fucking job?
• 1:16:00
  El Guapo: No, this is crooked people, though.
• 1:16:03
  Testecleese: Well, that's the thing, dude. You realize that, like, legitimate work, you could probably make more money, but maybe not than these childcare centers. But, like, slinging drugs on the side of the road, you could make more money printing… going and paying to print some t-shirts than going to a concert venue.
• 1:16:18
  Testecleese: Like a local band? For a local band. Yeah, but contact a local band in advance, say, hey, I'll give you 10% of all my, income for selling merch for you guys. The band will do it, especially if it's a local band that doesn't make their own merch.
• 1:16:34
  El Guapo: But now you're asking about doing work, and people don't want to do that shit.
• 1:16:38
  Testecleese: but… It's easier than trying to sell drugs to people, avoid cops, worry about rival dealers.
• 1:16:45
  El Guapo: I understand, though, but… look, man, is people just wanna be… have the… they wanna have the easy way out, you know?
• 1:16:52
  Testecleese: But that's the… what's the crazy thing is, it's not easier. It looks easier…
• 1:16:56
  Testecleese: But now you're spending the rest of your life looking over your fucking shoulder, because you know you've committed crimes.
• 1:17:01
  El Guapo: Yeah, it's adrenaline, I like that shit, so, you know…
• 1:17:08
  Testecleese: Jesus Christ. Alright. But, Trump went ahead and ended all childcare payments to, Minnesota over this. I'm assuming this is a temporary thing until it's…
• 1:17:19
  Testecleese: Figured out.
• 1:17:20
  Brian McFadden: Until they can… yes, exactly.
• 1:17:25
  Testecleese: I don't think the federal government should be putting any money into this, honestly.
• 1:17:28
  El Guapo: Subsidizing anybody's childcare.
• 1:17:31
  Testecleese: It should be a state program, state funds. If the state says these people deserve the money, they should come up with it instead of the federal government.
• 1:17:38
  El Guapo: Yeah, I don't know. That's… this is what I was scared of when I was talking universal childcare,
• 1:17:44
  El Guapo: You know?
• 1:17:45
  Testecleese: That's ridiculous. But I also think that…
• 1:17:47
  El Guapo: this is what they want. This is what they want, the fucking… I don't…
• 1:17:50
  El Guapo: It's gonna be the next, what's a USAID, you know?
• 1:17:55
  Testecleese: Yeah.
• 1:17:57
  Testecleese: But I also think the federal government
• 1:17:59
  Testecleese: Should be taxing way different. I've explained it several times in this show.
• 1:18:03
  Brian McFadden: Yep.
• 1:18:04
  Testecleese: one more time, I think the state should be…
• 1:18:06
  Testecleese: Should be able to bring in more money than it is, especially…
• 1:18:10
  Testecleese: Cut the federal government out of taxation of the, the working class.
• 1:18:15
  Testecleese: Let the state government figure out how to collect
• 1:18:19
  Testecleese: the taxes. All of it. And then the federal government just gets a cut of that X percent.
• 1:18:25
  Testecleese: And, you know, if you want to say something like, well, what would the state that doesn't collect any taxes? Fine, and they have no money for hospitals, or roadways, or emergency crews, or any of that, too.
• 1:18:34
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 1:18:37
  Testecleese: And the federal government's not gonna step in to help you, because the federal government doesn't do that anymore, you're supposed to collect that tax.
• 1:18:45
  Testecleese: I think this would solve a lot of problems, keep certain things local.
• 1:18:48
  Testecleese: Federal government should go back to the way it was, when it would only step in in extreme cases.
• 1:18:54
  El Guapo: Yeah.
• 1:18:55
  Testecleese: You know, like, actual, like, actual, market collapse. And… problem is, what is the federal government really gonna do when a market collapsed? That's basically mean the dollar collapsed. Well, you're gonna give us more dollars when it collapses? Great! That just makes it worse.
• 1:19:11
  El Guapo: Yeah, that, that happened ever since the fucking fellowship step in, back in 1913.
• 1:19:19
  El Guapo: There you go, see?
• 1:19:20
  Testecleese: No, I used to be completely against the Federal Reserve, and now I'm curious, what would you do instead?
• 1:19:27
  El Guapo: We were doing fine for 100 years before the Federal Reserve.
• 1:19:30
  Testecleese: So when the federal government made the money.
• 1:19:33
  El Guapo: There were no.
• 1:19:34
  Testecleese: Or was it all state? Was it all I can't see that.
• 1:19:36
  El Guapo: So, it takes a fucking while to dig… they got gold, so… They don't reproduce gold.
• 1:19:43
  Testecleese: So, okay, so you're gonna… you're gonna have a fucking testing kit at your house when you're trying to sell something to make sure what they're handing you is actually gold?
• 1:19:50
  El Guapo: Yeah, there's actually a laser for that, too.
• 1:19:52
  Testecleese: Okay, you wanna get the laser…
• 1:19:54
  El Guapo: How about… okay, how about this? You test it whenever you get cash, too, don't you? Make sure it's legit pepper?
• 1:20:02
  Testecleese: Not necessarily, but it's easier to check a dollar bill for certain watermarks and such.
• 1:20:07
  El Guapo: Same thing with a fucking coin, you could just… a super coin, you know?
• 1:20:11
  Testecleese: Yeah, but no, but who would make the coins, is what I'm saying.
• 1:20:15
  El Guapo: Eventually, people gotta catch up to it, you know?
• 1:20:18
  Testecleese: the…
• 1:20:20
  Testecleese: You want to get rid of the Federal Reserve, then who's going… no, who's going to make the currency if the Federal Reserve's not making the currency, is my question.
• 1:20:26
  El Guapo: But the Treasury doesn't charge it.
• 1:20:30
  Testecleese: government.
• 1:20:30
  El Guapo: The U.S. man's in charge of the coin. They're still doing it nowadays.
• 1:20:35
  Testecleese: Cool, okay, so you're saying return to a coin system.
• 1:20:37
  El Guapo: Yeah.
• 1:20:39
  Testecleese: Okay. That's carrying a lot of coins in you.
• 1:20:42
  El Guapo: Look, we even got… we get paid, we don't even get fucking coin no more. We get fucking digital. They can just print… they type in whatever they want.
• 1:20:49
  Testecleese: No, no, I agree with you. I like the idea of a gold standard.
• 1:20:54
  El Guapo: A lot of these states…
• 1:20:56
  Testecleese: Well, yeah, we had a gold standard, and then, we got rid of that, and then Nixon got rid of the silver standard.
• 1:21:03
  Testecleese: I think you gotta go to the gold standard. I think it was the silver standard. Everyone always says gold, but I'm pretty sure I read up on this once and it was silver.
• 1:21:09
  El Guapo: It was the goal setter, ever since, and then after that, the fucking debt went up to insane.
• 1:21:15
  Testecleese: Alright.
• 1:21:15
  El Guapo: We had 33… $32 trillion… 37 trillion dead now.
• 1:21:23
  Testecleese: I still think, states should start making their own currency again.
• 1:21:26
  El Guapo: Yeah.
• 1:21:27
  Testecleese: But, for real, why not?
• 1:21:31
  Testecleese: I see tons of benefits. One, your currency could mean more in your state.
• 1:21:41
  Testecleese: Than it would in other states, right?
• 1:21:44
  Testecleese: But, like, it's got actual gold in it. Actual silver, because for states to make their own currency, it has to be a coin, and it has to be gold or silver.
• 1:21:55
  Testecleese: Now, it doesn't say how much gold is silver, so you might just have a little tiny piece of gold in a big, giant zinc coin, right?
• 1:22:03
  Brian McFadden: road.
• 1:22:05
  Testecleese: But then, even if shit hits the fan, you could pop that piece of gold out of that thing, and you still have the gold that's worth that much money.
• 1:22:15
  Testecleese: I just, I think this is a better idea, because then, when shit hits the fan, your dollar doesn't disappear, you still have gold.
• 1:22:23
  Testecleese: Because it can't… that makes currency not disappear, because it's got actual gold in it.
• 1:22:33
  Testecleese: The problem is, the value of gold keeps going up so fast.
• 1:22:38
  Testecleese: Shoot, I don't even know what gold costs now, but I know when I sold my silver.
• 1:22:42
  Testecleese: I sold it at, $58.75 an ounce. Gold!
• 1:22:47
  Brian McFadden: I know.
• 1:22:48
  Testecleese: You know, I knew it would be?
• 1:22:51
  Testecleese: But I needed it for my truck.
• 1:22:53
  Testecleese: I have more silver, I just… Needed currency then.
• 1:22:59
  Testecleese: But yeah, I wonder what gold is sitting at. Is it over…
• 1:23:03
  Testecleese: It's gotta be over 2K, right?
• 1:23:05
  El Guapo: Yeah, probably.
• 1:23:07
  El Guapo: Let's see.
• 1:23:07
  Testecleese: Alright.
• 1:23:09
  Testecleese: Yeah, exactly, go ahead and look it up. Now, Karen Bass in LA is saying that it's sad that Hispanics are,
• 1:23:17
  Brian McFadden: No, this is… this is a funny story.
• 1:23:19
  Testecleese: Yeah, they're joining Border Patrol and doing this shit.
• 1:23:23
  El Guapo: $4,000.
• 1:23:25
  Testecleese: 4 grand?
• 1:23:26
  El Guapo: Yes.
• 1:23:28
  Testecleese: Fuck.
• 1:23:29
  El Guapo: No, around that.
• 1:23:32
  Testecleese: I don't have a whole lot of gold, but I might want to sit on that for a little while longer still.
• 1:23:36
  El Guapo: So this is… okay, this is just to show you how mass inflation affected us a lot.
• 1:23:41
  Testecleese: The dollar has lost value.
• 1:23:42
  El Guapo: Yeah.
• 1:23:44
  Testecleese: But here's the thing, Guabo, is you sell it high.
• 1:23:46
  El Guapo: You know, it less, but you fucking dollars worth less now. You just people don't get asked the concept, because it's so hard.
• 1:23:53
  Testecleese: No, you're right, no, the dollar's worth less. Gold's not worth more, the dollar is worth less.
• 1:23:57
  El Guapo: One ounce is still one ounce.
• 1:24:00
  Testecleese: Yeah, that's exactly what I've said, and silver's a better measure than gold, I've noticed.
• 1:24:05
  El Guapo: Mmm, yeah.
• 1:24:06
  Testecleese: The gold-to-silver ratio has been fluctuating a lot.
• 1:24:08
  El Guapo: But also, at the same time, who's fucking,
• 1:24:11
  El Guapo: Whenever you buy silver from people, you need to have a physical possession. No, they promise, you know, like, yeah, yeah, we give it to you when you ask for it, because they can just disappear.
• 1:24:23
  Testecleese: Yeah, I like buying it in person now, I was buying it online.
• 1:24:27
  Testecleese: And having it shipped, but that got expensive, believe it or not.
• 1:24:30
  El Guapo: You get it from the coin store, and you can probably buy it cheaper, because…
• 1:24:35
  El Guapo: They cannot hold that inventory that long, you know?
• 1:24:37
  Testecleese: Well, that, and you're not shipping, you know, 15 troy ounces in the mail, too.
• 1:24:43
  El Guapo: Yeah.
• 1:24:44
  Testecleese: You know, like.
• 1:24:44
  Testecleese: It's not a ton of weight, but it's, like, an extra, like, $4 or $5 in shipping.
• 1:24:49
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 1:24:50
  Testecleese: You know, that's adding to what it costs you to buy your silver.
• 1:24:55
  Testecleese: -Oh.
• 1:24:56
  Testecleese: And I… I don't know, man, is it… should we be buying more precious metal now? Do we see the dollar declining more, or… do we think it's… it's not… it seems… it looks like it's leveling out, except for groceries.
• 1:25:08
  El Guapo: But…
• 1:25:10
  Testecleese: Gold keeps soaring, so I don't know.
• 1:25:14
  Testecleese: Speculation's a dangerous thing in the market, when people stop panicking, you know?
• 1:25:19
  El Guapo: Yeah, because eventually people are gonna start selling, and it's gonna depreciate the value, too.
• 1:25:25
  Testecleese: Well, they started selling it, that's why it's jumping up.
• 1:25:29
  Testecleese: But then, exactly, it's gonna hit saturation, where no one else wants to buy more.
• 1:25:34
  El Guapo: Yep.
• 1:25:35
  Testecleese: And the price is gonna drop.
• 1:25:36
  El Guapo: Also, too, we got, the, the tariff equal tax coming next year.
• 1:25:43
  El Guapo: Which is not inflated, because he didn't print that money, he actually…
• 1:25:47
  El Guapo: We'll see how that affected, too, because this is a new thing for me, too, because inflation means you're printing money.
• 1:25:54
  El Guapo: But this is not printed. This is, like, tax, the fucking things that come into the state.
• 1:26:02
  Testecleese: Yeah.
• 1:26:03
  El Guapo: You know, what's interesting is if we're just gonna print money as needed anyway.
• 1:26:07
  Testecleese: Why bother taxing people?
• 1:26:09
  El Guapo: Yeah.
• 1:26:12
  Testecleese: If the world's just gonna accept the US dollar as a reserve currency…
• 1:26:15
  El Guapo: All this fucking… all these fucking things that I, like, the childcare, dude, that's… almost 9 billion dollars, dude.
• 1:26:22
  Testecleese: Stolen!
• 1:26:23
  El Guapo: Yes! Imagine if we had to stole it, it would have been back in the treasury.
• 1:26:28
  El Guapo: It would've been less… it would've been less…
• 1:26:32
  El Guapo: Less… they would have devalued less, the money less, you know?
• 1:26:36
  Testecleese: Well, here's the problem. Here's the problem, Guabo. Just like they say about soldiers, is you can vote your way, but you can shoot… you have to shoot your way out.
• 1:26:44
  Testecleese: How do we fix the dollar after loosening the regulations on it so much? You'd have to destroy the currency of the United States and start a new one.
• 1:26:53
  El Guapo: Well, that's the thing, too, like.
• 1:26:55
  Testecleese: That's why I like the idea of the states making currency, also, is because you wouldn't have to destroy the US dollar, necessarily.
• 1:27:00
  El Guapo: I think what Trump want to do, like, pay back their…
• 1:27:04
  El Guapo: the Federal Reserve, because apparently we make more money from the… There, eliminate the fucking debt.
• 1:27:13
  El Guapo: Once you eliminate the debt, then you cancel it out. This bullshit didn't work out correctly, let's just cancel it back to the gold standard.
• 1:27:21
  Testecleese: Okay, and again…
• 1:27:22
  Brian McFadden: It's easier said than done.
• 1:27:23
  El Guapo: I know, that's what I'm saying.
• 1:27:25
  Testecleese: And I'd like to point out again, the federal government does not have the authority to make dollar bills. They only have an authority to make coins. We would have to amend the Constitution if you wanted to have bills that the government made.
• 1:27:37
  El Guapo: Anyways, let's move on.
• 1:27:39
  Testecleese: Alright. It's a more complicated subject, is my point, than a lot of people realize.
• 1:27:45
  Testecleese: Because, like, the currency has to come from somewhere, right?
• 1:27:48
  El Guapo: No, it's just…
• 1:27:50
  El Guapo: Yeah, you… the way you think about it is debt. You have to create debt in order to create money.
• 1:27:58
  Testecleese: Huh… kinda.
• 1:28:01
  Testecleese: I just want something that… I want something as a placeholder, saying, I sold something.
• 1:28:06
  El Guapo: Same thing goes with the Bitcoin, you know, in order to create more Bitcoin, you have to calculate who's, like, how's the… it's a bunch of fucking calculate just to create one Bitcoin.
• 1:28:16
  Testecleese: oh yeah, you need, like, crazy computers to sit there and do math all day to mine Bitcoin, and I've made some money on Bitcoin.
• 1:28:25
  Testecleese: I wish I had bought it when it was less than a penny of corn, that would have been nuts, huh?
• 1:28:28
  El Guapo: Yo, sweaty.
• 1:28:31
  Testecleese: But… I am terrified of Bitcoin.
• 1:28:37
  Testecleese: I got a weird feeling it's here to take place of the currency of every nation on the planet.
• 1:28:42
  El Guapo: We'll see, we'll see.
• 1:28:44
  Testecleese: I think that's the plan behind it, and then…
• 1:28:47
  Testecleese: Shit, literally no such thing as a private purchase anymore.
• 1:28:51
  El Guapo: That's what… that's… no… So, you heard about the fucking, Pieces of 8?
• 1:28:58
  El Guapo: from Spain.
• 1:29:00
  Testecleese: The what?
• 1:29:01
  El Guapo: The pieces are 8.
• 1:29:03
  Testecleese: Pieces of 8?
• 1:29:04
  El Guapo: Yeah.
• 1:29:05
  Testecleese: No.
• 1:29:06
  El Guapo: All you need to do is… well, Spain. They became the standard silver coin… the coin, you know, that's what the pieces are ate, because you can fracture in 8 pieces, that's what the.
• 1:29:15
  Testecleese: Oh, okay. I've seen that with, ounces of silver, you can break them into, quarters.
• 1:29:20
  El Guapo: Yeah, well, the Istanbul on the fucking, big-ass hill… I had to send you a video about it. It's all fucking silver.
• 1:29:28
  El Guapo: Okay.
• 1:29:30
  Brian McFadden: Comments from YouTube is, Silver was 80.
• 1:29:33
  Brian McFadden: Now they say it's gonna be 150 out soon.
• 1:29:36
  Brian McFadden: Gold is, like, 43… 45.67 right now.
• 1:29:44
  Testecleese: So I should have sat on my silver, sold stocks.
• 1:29:47
  El Guapo: You don't know that. You don't know that. You don't know.
• 1:29:49
  Testecleese: Oh, I know it NOW!
• 1:29:50
  El Guapo: Yeah, but, you know, hindsight, 20-20, you know?
• 1:29:53
  Testecleese: Exactly, but…
• 1:29:55
  Brian McFadden: It's gonna be dollar cost, averaging gold and silver.
• 1:29:58
  Brian McFadden: We're about to have a liquidity problem, more bank failures, and recession.
• 1:30:03
  Testecleese: Yeah, yeah, I… should've sold stock to fix my truck's brakes instead of selling silver.
• 1:30:10
  Brian McFadden: Currency is printed by the Treasury, money is created by banks, lending it to… into existence.
• 1:30:17
  Testecleese: Okay, well, he's using proper terms doing this, correct.
• 1:30:21
  El Guapo: Currency is actual government.
• 1:30:24
  Testecleese: currency. Money… And this is actually funny, I actually wrote a paper about this in school.
• 1:30:31
  Testecleese: Money is different.
• 1:30:33
  Testecleese: And you know, where do you think the term passing the buck comes from?
• 1:30:37
  El Guapo: You pass a deer to another person?
• 1:30:40
  Testecleese: No, it's someone else has to pay for this.
• 1:30:43
  El Guapo: Anyways… But yeah, the soup.
• 1:30:46
  Testecleese: Bashes…
• 1:30:47
  El Guapo: Yeah.
• 1:30:48
  Testecleese: Oh, go ahead. No.
• 1:30:48
  El Guapo: The silver… the Spaniards came across with a silver… big-ass silver bounty.
• 1:30:53
  El Guapo: Okay, a mountain hill full of silver.
• 1:30:56
  El Guapo: Okay?
• 1:30:57
  El Guapo: Guess what happened to the silver?
• 1:31:01
  El Guapo: The same thing happen when you print money.
• 1:31:06
  Testecleese: Oh, they dumped it on the market at once, and it all lost its value?
• 1:31:09
  El Guapo: Yeah, same thing with Masa Musa.
• 1:31:12
  El Guapo: remember they talked about Masa Musa Wago?
• 1:31:16
  Testecleese: It sounds familiar.
• 1:31:19
  El Guapo: the African king that went across the fucking desert.
• 1:31:23
  El Guapo: With a shit ton of cameras full of gold.
• 1:31:25
  Testecleese: Yeah…
• 1:31:26
  El Guapo: It was handing people gold, and guess what happened to the fucking gold?
• 1:31:30
  Testecleese: Yeah, because everyone locally had gold, and they're like, what do I want more gold for?
• 1:31:34
  El Guapo: Yeah, so the loss of value.
• 1:31:36
  Testecleese: Something I brought up to you, Guapo, is…
• 1:31:39
  Testecleese: I agree, hold on to precious metals, but you're like, oh, if shit hits the fan, silver's good. And I was like, no, dude, shit hits the fan, I have 3 chickens that are laying eggs for me, or I could eat them, and you offer me silver? I'm gonna say, what the fuck am I gonna do with your silver?
• 1:31:52
  El Guapo: Yeah, yeah, you had to, like, you had to… you see, like, it changed, you know, what can you use for?
• 1:31:58
  El Guapo: No, I'm back to…
• 1:32:00
  Testecleese: If it'll… if it's gonna act as an actual placeholder, that means there's some kind of community still.
• 1:32:06
  El Guapo: Yeah, I mean, it's just… it's a battle system, you know, what can you use for exchange of good, you know?
• 1:32:12
  Testecleese: Yeah. Alright.
• 1:32:13
  Testecleese: And if I'm having trouble eating them and keeping alive, I don't want your silver, I want, frickin'…
• 1:32:18
  El Guapo: the best.
• 1:32:19
  Testecleese: I want a steak, yeah, right?
• 1:32:22
  Testecleese: Like, oh, you got, you got beef, I have a bunch of chickens, let's make a deal.
• 1:32:27
  El Guapo: Yeah.
• 1:32:29
  El Guapo: Then after a while, it settles down, then you get a… you're gonna come out with a media exchange, you know, like, hey, what can I, you know…
• 1:32:38
  Testecleese: By the way.
• 1:32:39
  El Guapo: You didn't read this book, or listen to the book,
• 1:32:43
  El Guapo: Dan Brown… I'm talking brown, but I fucking… the descent of money?
• 1:32:47
  El Guapo: Throughout history, how money was… Used throughout history, you know?
• 1:32:53
  Testecleese: I've probably watched and paid a lot of attention to this a long time ago. It's fun watching you go through a lot of the stuff that I already did, Guapo, by the way.
• 1:33:02
  El Guapo: I went to Israel this year a while ago. I got the book, actually.
• 1:33:06
  Testecleese: I know, but just, like, Brian and I… I was the guy going nuts about silver when we started the show, like…
• 1:33:12
  Testecleese: Shit. What, 15, 20 years ago?
• 1:33:15
  El Guapo: I don't think I've been talking to you guys about this shit, too.
• 1:33:19
  Testecleese: 5 years, maybe?
• 1:33:21
  El Guapo: I think it's longer than that.
• 1:33:23
  El Guapo: I still was in the Navy.
• 1:33:25
  El Guapo: That's only 15 to 10 years ago.
• 1:33:29
  El Guapo: Yeah.
• 1:33:30
  Testecleese: Alright, so, these, these South Africans Trump brought into the country that offended everybody?
• 1:33:36
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:33:37
  Testecleese: I guess one of them's in detention now?
• 1:33:39
  El Guapo: Yes.
• 1:33:40
  Testecleese: I'm not sure exactly what happened.
• 1:33:42
  El Guapo: Okay, he, okay, he, he heard that he was, giving, asylum seekers, okay?
• 1:33:50
  El Guapo: But this guy, he didn't… he didn't… he didn't go through the proper way, he just flew over here.
• 1:33:56
  Testecleese: Oh, just, just moved here.
• 1:33:58
  El Guapo: Yes, without fucking… the betting system or anything like that.
• 1:34:03
  Testecleese: So, this isn't someone Trump brought over, because this… they made it sound like Trump brought this guy over, then he committed a crime.
• 1:34:11
  El Guapo: contract check.
• 1:34:12
  Testecleese: Which made me laugh, it's like, you're trying to prove something to me, that, like, even this happens, like, yes, people… people who come here, still break the law, even if they're the people that you think are the good people.
• 1:34:24
  El Guapo: Yeah, no, we don't know about this. He doesn't even know, like, the federal system know about this guy. Hold on, you're from South Africa? We don't know nothing about you. Just because you're white, you say you're from South Africa doesn't mean you're white from South Africa. No, we know you could be a Russian from South Africa, you know?
• 1:34:41
  Testecleese: Well,
• 1:34:42
  Testecleese: That's what gets me, too, is you hear a lot of Americans talking trash about these white folk in South Africa?
• 1:34:48
  Testecleese: They're like, well, how long have they even been there? And it's like, well, since before the Pilgrims landed in the United States.
• 1:34:55
  El Guapo: the Dutch.
• 1:34:57
  Testecleese: Yeah, the Dutch down there in South Africa got in South Africa before the English came to Plymouth, Massachusetts.
• 1:35:03
  El Guapo: And nobody was in South Africa, it was too cold for the,
• 1:35:06
  El Guapo: Native Africans to go down south.
• 1:35:10
  Testecleese: Exactly, and how they're… they're saying we should take over, this is ours, and it's like.
• 1:35:14
  El Guapo: Nobody was there!
• 1:35:16
  Testecleese: Well, yeah, first of all, you weren't there when they showed up, and second.
• 1:35:20
  Testecleese: You think you can just take over their jobs? These guys have been farming for, what, 500 years, almost?
• 1:35:27
  El Guapo: Yeah, I guess.
• 1:35:28
  Brian McFadden: They thought it, they thought it, look what it did to it. It's like Venezuela taking over the oil industry, you know, from Chevron.
• 1:35:35
  Testecleese: Just do it, it's easy.
• 1:35:36
  El Guapo: Zimbabwe. Look what happened to Zimbabwe. They kicked up every white people farmer out of there.
• 1:35:41
  Testecleese: Yeah, and then hyperinflation kicked in, because they kept printing money to fix the problem.
• 1:35:46
  El Guapo: Yep.
• 1:35:47
  Brian McFadden: I don't… somebody on the show has a $3 trillion Zimbabwe dollar.
• 1:35:53
  Testecleese: $100 trillion bill.
• 1:35:56
  El Guapo: Yeah, I wanted to buy one, I saw one at once.
• 1:35:58
  Testecleese: Yeah, I don't know where it is, and I'm upset, because now to buy one, it's, like, $15, and I got mine for, like, 87 cents.
• 1:36:04
  Brian McFadden: France.
• 1:36:05
  El Guapo: Inflation. Inflation can't catch you back with dollar.
• 1:36:09
  Testecleese: Or there's less of them to buy now. Yeah, there's less of them to buy now. But yeah, I used to flash it on the show, I was like, I have a $100 trillion bill, look at this shit!
• 1:36:20
  El Guapo: Wow.
• 1:36:21
  El Guapo: But, no, but this guy, we don't know, just because he's white from South Africa, doesn't mean he need to stay, he needs to stay here, he need to go through a better system, no?
• 1:36:31
  Testecleese: He entered the country illegally.
• 1:36:33
  El Guapo: Basically.
• 1:36:35
  Testecleese: There you go. And so, you're not… you're not dunking on MAGA by doing this, you're actually pointing out that, hey, look, even when white people come to this country illegally, they get arrested.
• 1:36:49
  Testecleese: See, I hate… I don't like that.
• 1:36:55
  Testecleese: The Veterans Affairs Association, or Veterans Association, is VA, and Virginia is VA.
• 1:37:02
  Testecleese: Cause half the time, I'm not sure what I'm looking at.
• 1:37:05
  Testecleese: But… Looks like the DOJ is filing an actual complaint against the Veterans Association.
• 1:37:12
  Testecleese: For helping, or is it… Veterans Association, or Virginia?
• 1:37:16
  El Guapo: Virginia. Okay.
• 1:37:17
  Testecleese: So, Virginia's helping illegal immigrants get in-state tuition.
• 1:37:21
  El Guapo: Yes, the state of Virginia.
• 1:37:23
  Testecleese: And before someone says, oh, what's wrong with that? Well, then how come the guy from fucking North Carolina can't get in-state tuition, too?
• 1:37:31
  El Guapo: Yeah, it's not legal resident for Virginia.
• 1:37:36
  El Guapo: He's illegal in Virginia.
• 1:37:39
  Testecleese: That just… it blows my mind that the people involved in this shit don't realize that. It's like, you're excluding…
• 1:37:48
  Testecleese: 99% of the… well, Virginia, 99.8, 99.9% of the country's population.
• 1:37:55
  El Guapo: Yeah, I think this is a… to what I'm thinking, this is, like, a glitch junking trap.
• 1:38:01
  El Guapo: To keep the, fucking, jay Jones occupies.
• 1:38:07
  El Guapo: With this, so he could not pass.
• 1:38:11
  El Guapo: Keep it busy with all those observed things, you know?
• 1:38:14
  Testecleese: So he doesn't assassinate a bunch of Republicans?
• 1:38:17
  El Guapo: Yeah.
• 1:38:19
  El Guapo: Because this is just perfectly timed at the end of the year. Hold on, how would he catches off with Glenn Joker was off? Unless he just left it there for a trap, you know, like, something to keep the… the state, the… the B, what's it,
• 1:38:34
  El Guapo: I can't even think of his title name. Jay Jones.
• 1:38:37
  Testecleese: The DA. AG.
• 1:38:38
  El Guapo: Talk about… The District Attorney.
• 1:38:41
  Testecleese: No, he's the AG, he's in charge of all the district attorneys.
• 1:38:44
  El Guapo: Yeah, Attorney General.
• 1:38:47
  Testecleese: Yeah.
• 1:38:48
  El Guapo: So instead of, like, enforcing the stupid laws, he's gonna be busy with this shit, and probably more's gonna come, too.
• 1:38:56
  El Guapo: You know, like a little trap to step in, like, take it… keep it busy for the next 4 years.
• 1:39:03
  Testecleese: Baby.
• 1:39:04
  Testecleese: Meanwhile, Bernie Sanders is talking about how we need to halt AI production.
• 1:39:09
  Testecleese: And I was like, first of all.
• 1:39:11
  Testecleese: China's not gonna slow their AI down.
• 1:39:14
  El Guapo: So he would be all, like, about it, because the means of production are not gonna be… you're not gonna.
• 1:39:19
  Testecleese: No, that's his problem. That's actually his problem, Guabo. Thank you for a perfect setup. He's saying, what is everyone gonna do when they don't have a job?
• 1:39:28
  Testecleese: And my first thought was, STOP BRINGING IN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS!
• 1:39:34
  El Guapo: Yeah.
• 1:39:36
  Testecleese: oh, there's gonna be no jobs available because of AI. It's like, well, then why are you bringing in tens of tens of millions of people to fill jobs that nobody can do?
• 1:39:46
  Testecleese: It sounds like this is gonna work out perfect, doesn't it?
• 1:39:49
  El Guapo: Oh yeah, not…
• 1:39:55
  Testecleese: It's so frustrating to hear the lack of logic.
• 1:39:59
  El Guapo: When these folks speak.
• 1:40:01
  Testecleese: And I get Bernie's a little different than your average Democrat, but he's… he's a fucking moron, too.
• 1:40:09
  El Guapo: Oh, wow.
• 1:40:10
  Testecleese: How many sander… voters, voted Trump, you know, a whole bunch.
• 1:40:17
  El Guapo: Yeah, because it's not part of the mainstream.
• 1:40:22
  Testecleese: I get that, but that's a reason to vote for someone?
• 1:40:25
  El Guapo: Yeah, fucking…
• 1:40:26
  Testecleese: Did I just run for president and have a whole bunch of Bernie Sanders supporters vote for me?
• 1:40:31
  El Guapo: Yeah, because they fucking do. You're asking for…
• 1:40:34
  El Guapo: You're asking for common sense? This is illogical, the way the fucking people vote, though. They vote because of some other shit.
• 1:40:42
  Testecleese: I just… I can't imagine me running for office.
• 1:40:46
  El Guapo: Because, you know.
• 1:40:46
  Testecleese: One.
• 1:40:47
  El Guapo: Logic, and they're gonna not like that shit. They want something from you.
• 1:40:50
  Testecleese: Yeah, they want something free.
• 1:40:52
  El Guapo: Yeah.
• 1:40:53
  Testecleese: And I'd be the guy, I'd be like, no.
• 1:40:55
  El Guapo: No, get off your fucking couch.
• 1:40:58
  Testecleese: Do something, save some money.
• 1:41:03
  Testecleese: Oh, my God.
• 1:41:05
  Testecleese: Your brother, Brian, he's, he's, been fairly successful with, delivery systems, right?
• 1:41:13
  Brian McFadden: Yep.
• 1:41:15
  Testecleese: Seems like he understands… Pretty well, and…
• 1:41:19
  Testecleese: Started out on the right foot.
• 1:41:22
  Testecleese: Didn't go down the wrong path like most people.
• 1:41:25
  Testecleese: Right. And has expanded and has many delivery routes, correct? And people that drive for him?
• 1:41:30
  Brian McFadden: Yup.
• 1:41:33
  Testecleese: Does he underst- alright, he probably understands, but… People are gonna hate him.
• 1:41:40
  Testecleese: They're like, oh, other people are doing your work for you. It's like, oh, or they could just not do it.
• 1:41:44
  Testecleese: You know what I mean?
• 1:41:46
  El Guapo: And that's what gets me, is people complain about this, and it's like, well, then don't take the fucking job if it's not fair.
• 1:41:52
  El Guapo: Yeah.
• 1:41:53
  Testecleese: You, you agreed to the terms when you signed, that contract for that job.
• 1:41:57
  El Guapo: At least use it as a stepping stone, you know, 3 years of it, at least you can rebuild your reputation, your resume, and move on to something better, you know?
• 1:42:05
  Testecleese: That's a big problem we have with Americans, they don't know how to put money aside.
• 1:42:10
  El Guapo: They wanna… they wanna live up to the Josephs, you know?
• 1:42:14
  Testecleese: Well, exactly. But the thing is, they'll spend more money than they bring in, no matter how much money they bring in.
• 1:42:22
  Testecleese: You find people getting by on 30 grand a year in parts of West Virginia.
• 1:42:28
  Testecleese: surviving and doing well enough, but then you see people making 100 grand a year, 200 grand a year in Massachusetts, like, I can't pay my bills! And it's like, well, you have a quarter million dollar car in your garage that you drive twice a year.
• 1:42:43
  Testecleese: Did you have to buy that ridiculous car? Did you need the $5 million house?
• 1:42:48
  El Guapo: Yeah.
• 1:42:50
  Testecleese: So, well, I, you know, I could get the loans, and that's the problem, is you make enough money to live on your own and not do all of this.
• 1:42:57
  Testecleese: And unfortunately, it takes most people
• 1:43:00
  Testecleese: Hittin' the fuckin' wall to realize this.
• 1:43:06
  Testecleese: The good news is it… Less than a decade, you can be out of that problem.
• 1:43:12
  Testecleese: Above water, making money, and actually saving.
• 1:43:16
  El Guapo: Mmm.
• 1:43:17
  Testecleese: The issue then is figuring out what to do with your money. If you're not gonna be blowing it on partying and nice things.
• 1:43:25
  Testecleese: what do you do with it instead? And then all of a sudden, you're friggin' paying attention to stocks, bonds, gold and silver, right?
• 1:43:32
  Brian McFadden: Yep.
• 1:43:35
  Testecleese: And you're not nearly as much fun at a party!
• 1:43:40
  Testecleese: But you know your mortgage is paid next month, you know?
• 1:43:46
  Testecleese: Alright.
• 1:43:50
  Testecleese: Feels so weird putting D-O-W instead of D-O-D, by the way.
• 1:43:54
  Brian McFadden: Oh, yeah.
• 1:43:55
  El Guapo: male war.
• 1:43:56
  Brian McFadden: God.
• 1:43:57
  Testecleese: Yeah, every time I see that, I think that I'm…
• 1:43:59
  El Guapo: But, did we talk about this, months ago? Like, you know what, they should call it back? Department of War, you're like, the DOJ…
• 1:44:07
  Testecleese: They changed it months ago, dude.
• 1:44:09
  El Guapo: I know, but me and you were talking about it. Did she go back to the Department of War, like, no, no, no, this will now change.
• 1:44:19
  Brian McFadden: Well, in other exciting news, the Navy's went back to a twice-a-year fitness test.
• 1:44:23
  El Guapo: Did it do that already before?
• 1:44:25
  Testecleese: I thought it was already, but… Yeah, that's usually COVID.
• 1:44:29
  Brian McFadden: They changed it for COVID.
• 1:44:30
  Testecleese: Oh, so it was twice when I was in the service.
• 1:44:33
  Brian McFadden: When you're in service, yes.
• 1:44:34
  Testecleese: Oh, okay.
• 1:44:36
  Testecleese: Okay.
• 1:44:38
  Testecleese: Because I remember doing a PRT twice a year.
• 1:44:41
  Brian McFadden: Hell yeah, yeah.
• 1:44:42
  El Guapo: Yeah.
• 1:44:43
  El Guapo: So it's back to normal.
• 1:44:46
  Brian McFadden: Yep.
• 1:44:46
  Testecleese: By the way, I'd just like to say,
• 1:44:49
  Testecleese: I, ran a 9-minute mile and a half for a PRT once.
• 1:44:55
  Brian McFadden: Just once.
• 1:44:58
  Testecleese: Probably more than once, but 9-minute mile and a half, dude?
• 1:45:03
  Testecleese: First of all, that's a 6-minute mile, which is not terrible.
• 1:45:07
  Testecleese: But that's… now I think I ran an extra half mile on top of that, and maintained that speed.
• 1:45:14
  Brian McFadden: That's good.
• 1:45:15
  Testecleese: Yeah.
• 1:45:16
  Testecleese: I was actually in shape when I was younger, in the Navy.
• 1:45:22
  Brian McFadden: In the Navy!
• 1:45:23
  Testecleese: Yeah. By the way, the guy in, The Village People only wore the, sailor costume when they did that song.
• 1:45:32
  Brian McFadden: So every, every concert.
• 1:45:35
  Testecleese: Well, yes, but I'm just saying, it wasn't… they usually had, what, the.
• 1:45:38
  El Guapo: No, because I got YMCA…
• 1:45:42
  Testecleese: Yeah, but I'm saying the sailor suit only showed up for in the Navy.
• 1:45:46
  Brian McFadden: Oh, okay.
• 1:45:48
  Brian McFadden: So you see Fort Hood commissioning Army's first completely electric locomotive. What could possibly go wrong?
• 1:45:55
  El Guapo: I know, no shit, though.
• 1:45:57
  Testecleese: Yeah, I don't believe it.
• 1:45:59
  El Guapo: Yeah.
• 1:45:59
  Testecleese: I don't believe it's… okay, I believe it's completely powered by electricity, but I am certain there's a… I am certain there's a generator hooked up in case something goes wrong, so the military base still operates.
• 1:46:12
  El Guapo: Nuclear generator you're talking about?
• 1:46:13
  Testecleese: No, not even nuclear! Frickin' diesel! Who cares?
• 1:46:17
  El Guapo: Charlie.
• 1:46:19
  Testecleese: Just like my generator runs on propane, you know what I mean?
• 1:46:22
  Brian McFadden: Yep.
• 1:46:23
  Testecleese: No, and this ain't gonna cost a lot. It's great. If you can get a cheaper source of electricity.
• 1:46:28
  El Guapo: Yeah.
• 1:46:28
  Testecleese: Do it. Cost the taxpayer less.
• 1:46:30
  El Guapo: It was…
• 1:46:30
  Testecleese: But I expect the system to supply the electricity as a… redundancies, right, Guapo?
• 1:46:37
  El Guapo: Yeah.
• 1:46:38
  Testecleese: If this fails, we can do this.
• 1:46:40
  El Guapo: So why the fuck do they need a, locomotor, too? I don't get it.
• 1:46:45
  Testecleese: Fort Hood, moves a lot of weapons.
• 1:46:53
  Testecleese: If, what was the re… what was the.
• 1:46:56
  El Guapo: I thought it was.
• 1:46:56
  Testecleese: What was the Navy base that, armed ships and dearmed ships? Disarmed ships?
• 1:47:01
  El Guapo: Yorktown.
• 1:47:03
  Testecleese: Was it lockdown?
• 1:47:04
  El Guapo: Yeah.
• 1:47:05
  Testecleese: Were you guys still on board when we got there?
• 1:47:09
  El Guapo: What do you mean, got there?
• 1:47:10
  Testecleese: Air Department.
• 1:47:12
  El Guapo: I mean, I went there once with my cruiser.
• 1:47:17
  Testecleese: Oh, okay.
• 1:47:17
  El Guapo: Yeah, we were the ones. Yeah, and you go there, and they pull all the missiles out of the ship, for example, and then they put them on a rail system and ship them away to storage. Yeah, we had… we were not allowed to use cell phones and shit back then.
• 1:47:31
  Testecleese: Yeah, because… Who needs to take the chance?
• 1:47:35
  El Guapo: Yeah.
• 1:47:35
  Testecleese: Right?
• 1:47:37
  El Guapo: Brian…
• 1:47:38
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:47:40
  Testecleese: Guapo thought it was Yorktown, he might be right. What was the weapons base?
• 1:47:44
  Testecleese: Yorktown, Yorktown. In the Virginia… it was Yorktown? That's where you would go to get loaded up, and you'd go to disarm after deployment?
• 1:47:52
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:47:53
  El Guapo: My ship I was on, it was named Yorktown, too.
• 1:47:56
  Testecleese: Well, he was asking why the Army base would need a rail system, and I was like, oh, dear God, could you imagine moving some of that ordnance in a truck?
• 1:48:06
  Brian McFadden: Nope.
• 1:48:06
  El Guapo: But dude, electronic locomotors are gonna take so much fucking battery power just to move all the stuff. Unless it's a small…
• 1:48:15
  Testecleese: Oh, it's only gonna work across base, and…
• 1:48:18
  Testecleese: Again, there's probably a diesel generator attached to it, should the power source fail.
• 1:48:27
  Testecleese: There's no way the army's gonna allow…
• 1:48:31
  Testecleese: their weapons relay system to shut down because it's cloudy out, you know what I mean?
• 1:48:37
  Brian McFadden: Alright.
• 1:48:39
  El Guapo: Imagine what we could do with wind and stellar energy for weapon systems.
• 1:48:44
  El Guapo: Who was that?
• 1:48:48
  El Guapo: Alright.
• 1:48:50
  Testecleese: Alright, well,
• 1:48:52
  Testecleese: So, that tanker, it was the Bella One, now it's called something else, I'm not sure what it is anymore.
• 1:48:59
  Testecleese: Hold on.
• 1:49:00
  Testecleese: that took off from the Coast Guard and went back across the Atlantic.
• 1:49:04
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:49:05
  Testecleese: Coast Guard's been pursuing it.
• 1:49:09
  Testecleese: They have taken down their flag.
• 1:49:12
  Testecleese: Excuse me.
• 1:49:14
  Testecleese: and have raised a Russian flag.
• 1:49:16
  Brian McFadden: Oh, of course I have.
• 1:49:18
  Testecleese: Russia has come out and formally asked us to start pursuit of this sanctioned oil tanker.
• 1:49:27
  Testecleese: What's gonna happen?
• 1:49:30
  Brian McFadden: Probably gonna have to stop pursuit, because if we actually keep pursuing it, Then, it's gonna be,
• 1:49:37
  Brian McFadden: Brussel used it as a declaration of war.
• 1:49:41
  Testecleese: Okay.
• 1:49:43
  Testecleese: So, you think… Trump… okay. Right now, Trump is in control.
• 1:49:48
  Testecleese: of this.
• 1:49:50
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:49:51
  Testecleese: Do you think Trump is going to accept that as a reason to stop knowing who Trump is?
• 1:49:57
  Brian McFadden: No.
• 1:49:59
  Testecleese: Okay, so we seize this vessel.
• 1:50:03
  Testecleese: Do you think Russia has the nuts to declare war right now when they're…
• 1:50:09
  Testecleese: doing their best to not get NATO involved, that's why they're having an issue with Ukraine, is because NATO's involved.
• 1:50:15
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 1:50:16
  Testecleese: Could you imagine what would happen if they declared war on a NATO nation?
• 1:50:22
  Brian McFadden: Be a shizzo.
• 1:50:24
  Testecleese: Yeah, I got… And I don't know, I don't think Trump's gonna back off.
• 1:50:28
  Testecleese: I think Putin is full of himself, too, to do something stupid.
• 1:50:34
  Testecleese: But I don't think he's dumb enough to declare an actual… War.
• 1:50:40
  Testecleese: Over some fucking… tanker full of oil, you know what I mean?
• 1:50:46
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 1:50:48
  Testecleese: I don't know, I guess we'll find out.
• 1:50:52
  Testecleese: We've been keeping it on this vessel since they started to take off.
• 1:50:55
  Testecleese: But after Putin was like, please stop, this is a big deal, we're sanctioned, we're protecting this vehicle now, this vessel now, Maduro's come out and said he's ready to talk to the United States about possibly, working on controlling the drug trafficking.
• 1:51:09
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, cause he doesn't want to get kicked out of his country.
• 1:51:14
  Brian McFadden: And they're tired of all the military strikes on the drug traffickers leaving the country.
• 1:51:21
  Testecleese: Yeah, they've struck… they've hit inland, too, haven't they?
• 1:51:24
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:51:27
  Testecleese: So… what's this gonna do to Putin trying to protect this vessel?
• 1:51:34
  Testecleese: If Maduro… is… I mean, granted, this isn't necessarily drug trafficking, But…
• 1:51:41
  Testecleese: If Maduro's already starting to cave to Trump.
• 1:51:48
  Testecleese: I don't know.
• 1:51:49
  Testecleese: I don't think Venezuela stands a real chance in an actual conflict with the United States.
• 1:51:56
  Testecleese: Because I genuinely don't see Russia getting involved. I really don't.
• 1:52:01
  Testecleese: They have enough issues getting people to sign up to fight against Ukraine.
• 1:52:08
  Testecleese: Right. Let alone going across the frickin' planet to get in that fight with the United States.
• 1:52:15
  Testecleese: But… Some crazy shit's going on in Iran, dude.
• 1:52:19
  Brian McFadden: Oh, yeah. And it's… you're not seeing this on a lot of the mainstream media channels, either.
• 1:52:26
  Testecleese: I've noticed that. It sounds like a revolution is beginning.
• 1:52:30
  Brian McFadden: Yep.
• 1:52:31
  Brian McFadden: I mean, there's protests that they're basically… they're shutting down the whole… Iranian, they're yelling, shameless, shameless.
• 1:52:42
  Testecleese: Shutting down the marketplaces.
• 1:52:44
  Brian McFadden: Yep.
• 1:52:44
  Testecleese: Oh, wow.
• 1:52:45
  Testecleese: Are they yelling death to the dictator?
• 1:52:53
  Brian McFadden: the Iranian economy's in freefall, Its currency becomes .0003… nope, I missed the zero… four zeros to the real.
• 1:53:08
  Testecleese: Yeah, well, the reality is there. That's to the dollar. It's, it's even worse since then.
• 1:53:14
  Testecleese: I've looked it up, because I… check this out. What do you think I would say in this situation, Brian, as the Iranian…
• 1:53:21
  Brian McFadden: Buy, buy, buy the Iranian dollar.
• 1:53:24
  Testecleese: And I said that when Russia and Ukraine happened, right?
• 1:53:26
  Brian McFadden: But you can't do it.
• 1:53:27
  El Guapo: Can't do it, yeah.
• 1:53:29
  Testecleese: Yeah, Iranian currency is not traded on the global, currency exchange, so I can't just go buy these. I can buy them from people online.
• 1:53:40
  Testecleese: But what the fuck am I gonna do with that?
• 1:53:42
  Brian McFadden: Nothing.
• 1:53:43
  Testecleese: When it bounces back up in value, no one's gonna buy it, right?
• 1:53:46
  Brian McFadden: Right, exactly.
• 1:53:48
  Testecleese: But yeah, I was like, shit, it's like a millionth of a dollar?
• 1:53:51
  Brian McFadden: Yup.
• 1:53:51
  Testecleese: I'll spend $10, you know what I mean? If it gets up to 50 cents.
• 1:53:57
  Testecleese: I'll be set for life. My children will be set for life!
• 1:54:03
  Testecleese: Yeah, no, no, can't just go do that. Of course not. You have to… typically speaking, you have to get Iranian money in Iran.
• 1:54:14
  Testecleese: Meanwhile, though, the… the… the president there… Their government's weird.
• 1:54:20
  Testecleese: Yeah. Like, there's an official… like, religious leader thing that's almost the president, but not the pre- the mullah?
• 1:54:28
  Brian McFadden: Yep.
• 1:54:30
  Testecleese: Bye.
• 1:54:30
  El Guapo: play, basically.
• 1:54:32
  Testecleese: Yeah, and that's what caused all the issues in Iran, because it used to be a very prosperous nation.
• 1:54:37
  Testecleese: But he's gone.
• 1:54:38
  Brian McFadden: We used to be an ally of the United States.
• 1:54:41
  Testecleese: Yeah, now they've declared total war against the United States.
• 1:54:49
  Testecleese: What would happen if we took them seriously?
• 1:54:54
  Brian McFadden: I don't know.
• 1:54:55
  Brian McFadden: Nothin'.
• 1:54:56
  Testecleese: No, if we actually took him seriously and declared war back.
• 1:55:00
  Testecleese: Now, war is different than the presidential authority.
• 1:55:04
  Testecleese: we wouldn't have a handful of tanks and a bunch of frickin' Marines with jets flying overhead if it was actual war.
• 1:55:13
  Testecleese: We would invade and eradicate that government, right?
• 1:55:16
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 1:55:16
  Testecleese: And… Pretty sure, historically, the United States has Always demanded total, unconditional surrender?
• 1:55:26
  Testecleese: Am I wrong with that one?
• 1:55:27
  Brian McFadden: Nope.
• 1:55:31
  Testecleese: I got a feeling it's a bad idea for Iran to be declaring war against the United States while they're having an uprising in their own nation. This might be the only reason why they don't get blown up, is because everyone's trying to tear down their own government from within anyway.
• 1:55:46
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 1:55:47
  Testecleese: Why go and kill all those people that are actively fighting as it is?
• 1:55:51
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 1:55:56
  Testecleese: Ryan, you shared this one, tell me all about this. I found this very interesting with this…
• 1:56:02
  Testecleese: Okay, where Somalia is…
• 1:56:06
  Brian McFadden: So, yeah, Israel's the first company to recognize…
• 1:56:09
  Testecleese: Is this actually the name that they're calling it?
• 1:56:12
  Brian McFadden: Yes. Okay. Somaliland, which is.
• 1:56:15
  Testecleese: Somalil land. Yes, as part of Somalia.
• 1:56:20
  Brian McFadden: This little section, basically a state has divided itself from the actual Somalian country that's not really a country, because they have no actual working governor.
• 1:56:30
  Testecleese: We've been talking about for weeks.
• 1:56:31
  Brian McFadden: Yeah. So, but Israel's the first company… country to recognize this other…
• 1:56:37
  Brian McFadden: part of Somalia, called Somaliland, as a sovereign state.
• 1:56:42
  Testecleese: Does that mean no one in the world is going to recognize this as a nation just because Israel did?
• 1:56:50
  Brian McFadden: Possibly.
• 1:56:52
  Testecleese: Correct.
• 1:56:53
  Testecleese: So these guys actually set up a government.
• 1:56:55
  Brian McFadden: Yep.
• 1:56:56
  Brian McFadden: A functioning government.
• 1:56:59
  Testecleese: Alrighty.
• 1:57:00
  Testecleese: It's difficult to say that they're not a country, but Somalia is.
• 1:57:05
  Testecleese: You know?
• 1:57:06
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 1:57:07
  El Guapo: Hmm.
• 1:57:09
  Testecleese: We'll see how that goes, but…
• 1:57:12
  Testecleese: chances are, unless they have some funding, maybe they're getting it from Israel, which…
• 1:57:18
  Testecleese: If that's true, it's probably come from the United States.
• 1:57:21
  Testecleese: They're gonna need some serious, firepower to keep out the rebels.
• 1:57:26
  Testecleese: from the rest of Somalia.
• 1:57:29
  Testecleese: Because apparently that's what you do in Somalia, is you just steal and kill, right.
• 1:57:32
  Brian McFadden: Warlords. Warlords is what it's all about.
• 1:57:34
  El Guapo: It's all tribes over there.
• 1:57:37
  Testecleese: Yeah, and so you're gonna need an actual military to keep these warlords out.
• 1:57:42
  El Guapo: Yep.
• 1:57:45
  Testecleese: Oh… Oh, here we go, you see this? The Panamanian mayor, or… .
• 1:57:52
  El Guapo: Oh.
• 1:57:54
  Testecleese: ordered the demolition of a Chinese monument near the canal.
• 1:57:57
  Brian McFadden: I'm sure Trump had something to do with that.
• 1:57:59
  Testecleese: Yeah, what's funny is they'd already got knocked down by locals.
• 1:58:03
  Testecleese: And they would just destroy it all the way, and China's, like, all offended.
• 1:58:08
  El Guapo: What are you gonna do about it?
• 1:58:10
  Testecleese: Well, it's funny, because, well, China's been trying to take it over. They're trying to build their own, right?
• 1:58:18
  Testecleese: Trump said that maybe they'll take back the Panama Canal if they don't treat it properly, and stop worshipping the Chinese.
• 1:58:25
  El Guapo: Yeah.
• 1:58:29
  Testecleese: I don't know, they cost a lot of American dollars and a lot of lives to build that canal, and granted, we got our dollars paid back before we gave it to the Panamanian people.
• 1:58:39
  Testecleese: But,
• 1:58:40
  Testecleese: Because, yeah, we collected a toll for however long until we got back the cost that I made to build it.
• 1:58:46
  El Guapo: Yeah.
• 1:58:48
  Testecleese: Oh, that's actually a cool way to do it, and now we get to use it and pay for it.
• 1:58:52
  El Guapo: Yeah.
• 1:58:53
  Testecleese: But China's been getting preferential treatment over the United States, and we're like, are you fucking kidding me?
• 1:58:58
  El Guapo: Yeah.
• 1:59:00
  Testecleese: It's like, we built the damn thing for you, and then gave it to you, you can't, you can't, let us go through…
• 1:59:07
  Testecleese: At all, but trying to get 6 ships through.
• 1:59:11
  Testecleese: Gee, that'd go all the way down around,
• 1:59:14
  Testecleese: the tip of South America, you know, that's a long sale.
• 1:59:19
  El Guapo: Oh, yeah, oh, you were talking about Somalia, how they're not defined as a country.
• 1:59:24
  Testecleese: Yeah.

  Testecleese: Yeah, he's terrible.
• 1:59:50
  El Guapo: I was just… I just remembered that part, like, hold on, hold on, you're talking about, Somalia not being a legitimate country, but somehow the UN ambassador owned, like, daycare is somewhere in Ohio? Of a healthcare facility, something like that.
• 2:00:06
  El Guapo: But how can you be an ambassador to a country you're not in?
• 2:00:09
  El Guapo: Well, you done got a business, you know?
• 2:00:12
  Testecleese: Check this out. Guapo, how about you and I open up a daycare center in Minnesota?
• 2:00:17
  Brian McFadden: You should.
• 2:00:18
  El Guapo: No shit.
• 2:00:20
  Brian McFadden: Did you make a killing?
• 2:00:21
  Testecleese: Yeah, I can get paid $9 million to, like, rent a…

  El Guapo: Yeah, disappear after a year, you know?

  Testecleese: I won't even… don't know, I'll collect it $9 million next year, too, are you kidding me?
• 2:00:43
  El Guapo: Yeah, well, awesome.
• 2:00:43
  Testecleese: These fucks have been at it for 5 years.
• 2:00:45
  El Guapo: I'm gonna catch up to you, you know? I should have left as soon as I could drop a guy in the office, I'm like, I'm outta here.
• 2:00:50
  Testecleese: You're right, you should've… you should've done it once, then ran away with your money.
• 2:00:54
  El Guapo: If the Trump guy in the office, like, I'm outta here, you know?
• 2:00:57
  Testecleese: Mmm.
• 2:00:59
  El Guapo: Because now you… now what Trump did, too, is stop all the money transfer outside the United States.
• 2:01:06
  El Guapo: Yeah. Yeah.
• 2:01:09
  Testecleese: Guapo shared this one. Some… some person in Colorado.
• 2:01:14
  El Guapo: Mmm, what's.
• 2:01:15
  Testecleese: Killed by a mountain lion.
• 2:01:17
  El Guapo: Yep, the days ago, a few days ago.
• 2:01:20
  Testecleese: Yeah, and I… I can't… I don't see the… in here. I… I think it's since, like, 2000…
• 2:01:26
  Testecleese: 2013 or something like that?
• 2:01:28
  El Guapo: It's no shit like that, yeah.
• 2:01:30
  El Guapo: 15 years.
• 2:01:30
  Testecleese: Yeah, since someone's been killed by a mountain lion in Colorado.
• 2:01:34
  El Guapo: I wanna know what that person wants to do. And don't go fight… go hunting mountain lions now, because of this fucking idiot.
• 2:01:42
  Testecleese: Hold on.
• 2:01:43
  Testecleese: One, they say mountain lions don't live in this area.
• 2:01:47
  Testecleese: Which, I hear about everything, because they keep telling me mountain lions don't live where I live.
• 2:01:52
  Testecleese: And… This locals posting pictures to, like, the local groups on social media.
• 2:01:59
  Testecleese: Of mountain lions in their yard.
• 2:02:01
  Testecleese: And we always say, like, oh, they don't live here, they pass through.
• 2:02:05
  Testecleese: Dude, I saw… I saw Mala, I was out in my yard.
• 2:02:10
  Testecleese: at night.
• 2:02:11
  Testecleese: I turned around, and I saw these glown fucking eyes. I was like, what the fuck? Then I saw the tail, and I was like, that's a giant fucking cat!
• 2:02:21
  Testecleese: Dude, it's terrifying!
• 2:02:23
  Testecleese: And I was just burning shit in my yard.
• 2:02:28
  Testecleese: And it's funny, because the wife was like, was it a bobcat? I was like, no, this thing had a full fucking tail, it wasn't a little cat that looked big in the dark, you know?
• 2:02:36
  Brian McFadden: Right.
• 2:02:37
  Testecleese: But, Jesus Christ, could you imagine a 60-pound cat
• 2:02:42
  Testecleese: Jumping on you and attacking you?
• 2:02:45
  El Guapo: Yeah, better keep it going, hang on, close by.
• 2:02:48
  Testecleese: Yeah, well, since then, if I go out and burn, in the yard, like, you know, the tree stuff that falls.
• 2:02:55
  Testecleese: I bring my shotgun with me.
• 2:02:58
  Testecleese: I mean, I got bears, too, and I was like, fuck, all I need is to get snuck up on by a bear or a fucking mountain lion, you know?
• 2:03:04
  Brian McFadden: Yep.
• 2:03:06
  El Guapo: Alright, do what the Indians do, get a face mask and put it behind your head, so you're not… you're always facing them.
• 2:03:12
  Testecleese: Maybe, and that's what scared me the most, is I turned around, and I saw the mountain lion's eyes. I was like, Jesus Christ, that thing walked right up on me, I just happened to turn around.
• 2:03:21
  El Guapo: Indian tea collector, they put a face mask on the back of their head.
• 2:03:26
  El Guapo: Yeah. Because tigers would not jump you in front of your face, they would…
• 2:03:30
  Testecleese: Same… same idea as a scarecrow.
• 2:03:33
  El Guapo: Yeah.
• 2:03:34
  Testecleese: Yeah, it tells the animals that there's someone there watching you.
• 2:03:42
  Testecleese: Alright.
• 2:03:43
  Testecleese: There we go. I want to talk about this one, Brian,
• 2:03:46
  Testecleese: Saw this news, this in the news a little bit ago. It didn't give much of a shit, because we don't typically talk sports here.
• 2:03:53
  Testecleese: Huh.
• 2:03:54
  Testecleese: But one of the Detroit Lions players struck a fan.
• 2:03:59
  Brian McFadden: No, it was… no, it was the other way around.
• 2:04:01
  Brian McFadden: This was a Pittsburgh Steeler fan that struck a fan in Detroit.
• 2:04:08
  Testecleese: Okay.
• 2:04:09
  Brian McFadden: Either way. He was suspended by the game… suspended by the NFL for 2 games.
• 2:04:14
  Testecleese: Well, okay.
• 2:04:16
  Testecleese: good, because… Detroit, it says they vindicated Metcalf for punching a fan.
• 2:04:23
  Brian McFadden: I don't give a shit. Yeah, I agree.
• 2:04:25
  Testecleese: What? He dropped ethnic slurs?
• 2:04:28
  Testecleese: Is what they're saying? This guy's done it before.
• 2:04:32
  Testecleese: And I guess specifically against this guy, and followed him to Detroit.
• 2:04:36
  Testecleese: Still doesn't make it okay to hit someone, no matter how mean they are.
• 2:04:41
  Brian McFadden: Nope.
• 2:04:41
  Testecleese: Especially if you're a professional football player, and he's probably a drunk piece of shit, right?
• 2:04:47
  Brian McFadden: Right, yep.
• 2:04:48
  Testecleese: Two games, he should have been thrown out of the league for that.
• 2:04:52
  Testecleese: You need to set an example, because the NFL…
• 2:04:55
  Testecleese: is known amongst all of the professional sports in the United States for having the highest standards of,
• 2:05:02
  Testecleese: Professionalism, right?
• 2:05:05
  Brian McFadden: Sure.
• 2:05:06
  Testecleese: Excessive celebration for a touchdown will get you a penalty in the NFL.
• 2:05:11
  Brian McFadden: Yeah.
• 2:05:12
  Testecleese: Meanwhile, the NHL, National Hockey League, the refs will stand by, watch you beat the shit out of someone, then they'll put you in the penalty box for 2 minutes to let you out and do it again.
• 2:05:23
  Brian McFadden: Yeah, that's hockey.
• 2:05:27
  Testecleese: Fighting's not part of the game, though!
• 2:05:33
  Brian McFadden: Other exciting news!
• 2:05:35
  El Guapo: Yeah.
• 2:05:35
  Brian McFadden: 2026 is gonna be the year to be an SL astronaut, we're gonna fly around the moon again!
• 2:05:41
  El Guapo: Better get 4K video out of this shit.
• 2:05:45
  Testecleese: Hold on. Yes, I expect some excellent video, but the problem is, Guapo, what kind of video are you gonna get on the dark side of the moon?
• 2:05:53
  El Guapo: Yeah, right?
• 2:05:54
  Brian McFadden: Dark video.
• 2:05:54
  El Guapo: No, Bishop.
• 2:05:55
  Testecleese: Blackness.
• 2:05:57
  Brian McFadden: Neither.
• 2:05:57
  El Guapo: Knight Bishop, we got Knight Bishop now!
• 2:05:59
  Testecleese: Night vision for what? What, you're looking for the heat signature on the cold side of the moon?
• 2:06:09
  Testecleese: The Moon is in geosynchronous orbit with the Earth.
• 2:06:15
  Testecleese: That means that the same side is always facing the Earth, and the same side's always facing away from the Earth, so the side that's… yeah.
• 2:06:23
  Testecleese: Now, granted…
• 2:06:24
  El Guapo: You… the way the nibration works is by, ultraviolet, spotlight.
• 2:06:30
  Testecleese: Ultraviolet's heat.
• 2:06:33
  El Guapo: Mmm.
• 2:06:34
  Testecleese: So you're getting the side of the sun, the moon that has.
• 2:06:36
  El Guapo: It's not.
• 2:06:36
  Testecleese: No sunlight on it.
• 2:06:39
  El Guapo: I had to look into this, but okay.
• 2:06:41
  Testecleese: No, ultra-wide's infrared, I'm sorry.
• 2:06:43
  El Guapo: Yeah.
• 2:06:45
  Testecleese: I don't know.
• 2:06:46
  Brian McFadden: Oh, shit.
• 2:06:47
  Testecleese: Take all the crazy pictures you can, but you're not getting, like.
• 2:06:51
  Testecleese: Grant, you're gonna get them, like, x-rays and microwaves and all that stuff, but…
• 2:06:55
  El Guapo: Yeah. I better not get, like, bagged pictures, you know, like, oh, the bag, this and that, and you got granny pictures and shit.
• 2:07:02
  Testecleese: Well, I also want… yeah, well, yeah, it's not 1970 either. I wanted to ask also…
• 2:07:07
  El Guapo: Is it those fucking cameras?
• 2:07:08
  Testecleese: When was the last time we have gone around the moon, like, all the way around?
• 2:07:14
  Brian McFadden: The 60s? Quote-unquote, the 60s?
• 2:07:17
  Testecleese: Was it… was it 13?
• 2:07:20
  Brian McFadden: Probably.
• 2:07:21
  Testecleese: The Apollo 13, where…
• 2:07:24
  Brian McFadden: We all almost died. Yeah.
• 2:07:26
  Brian McFadden: They made a movie out of it.
• 2:07:28
  Testecleese: Yeah, and managed to improvise and swing… no, actually, yeah, they weren't supposed to go around the moon, were they? But they did to use the gravity to come back to Earth.
• 2:07:37
  Brian McFadden: Yep.
• 2:07:37
  Testecleese: Just wanna say, Those men and women that go up and do that.
• 2:07:44
  Testecleese: That can do shit like that, with the equipment they had on hand, was fucking geniuses.
• 2:07:50
  Testecleese: Granted, it was that or die.
• 2:07:52
  Brian McFadden: Right. They understood how all this shit worked, and they managed to slingshot around the moon and shoot back to the Earth, when the whole planet was like.
• 2:07:59
  Testecleese: Alright, it's gonna be, like, a minute and a half before we can hear him, because the moon's on the way, you know?
• 2:08:04
  Brian McFadden: Yep.
• 2:08:05
  Testecleese: And once again, we bring up a fucking movie I have to watch before we do the next episode.
• 2:08:10
  Brian McFadden: card.
• 2:08:11
  Testecleese: That's alright.
• 2:08:12
  Brian McFadden: I think that's our shit.
• 2:08:14
  Testecleese: Yeah, on that note, let's pinch this fucker off, dude.
• 2:08:17
  Testecleese: Oh, that's the wrong… I opened up a fucking picture of a…
• 2:08:21
  Testecleese: dust masks being thrown away during COVID era.
• 2:08:29
  Testecleese: Shoot. I gotta turn that back up.
• 2:08:32
  Audio shared by Testecleese: Alright.
• 2:08:35
  Audio shared by Testecleese: And now's the time when things… I picked the wrong one, too, look at that.
• 2:08:39
